On Saturday I did the Run for Respect 5k on campus in lieu of the marathon. It's a good thing Dr. Wright let me do that because I only jogged about .5 of a mile before I had to stop and walk because of my knee. I ended up waking the rest of the race, which was freezing! Strangely, I was ok with walking the rest of the way and got to enjoy some good bonding time with my roommate and another friend. I would not have had that if I was worried about finishing as fast as possible. You learn a lot more when you just slow down, enjoy yourself and forget the fact that you are in something labeled a "race." Whether I finished in 25 minutes or 48 minutes, my money and support still went to the same cause, right? This semester has definitely been difficult not being able to run, but I have learned a great amount of patience and how to rely on other things beside my physical ability. Anyways, good luck to everyone on Sunday! I am hoping to be there cheering yall on!
