So finals are complete.
I've been doing some moderate elliptical work, some cycling, and going by feel. In short, I've been conservative, as tomorrow is my MRI.

Today, was my longest elliptical workout in several weeks: 70 minutes. Didn't feel entirely comfortable going above that, as my leg is still a bit twitchy. But this isn't why I am posting.

I'm posting because of a song I listened to several weeks back, when I was volunteering at an urban, preparatory junior/senior high school in Newark of my Spring Break. I hadn't heard it since the last time I was in Newark, but I told myself I would refrain from listening, until my last day at school.

It's a Christian Rock artist, named Kelly Pease. If you haven't heard her music, you ought to. Its inspiring, even if you're not a religious or even spiritual person. It's purely fantastic music. I realized that I was listening as I drove by my sanctuary, or where I do my long runs in the fall, winter, and sometimes the Spring. See the photo here.

The song reminded me of the patience I have in God, the strength he gives me, and how he always comes through. There's a verse in the song that proclaims: "Holy God, my own God, King of my destiny" Alot of this I understand, but much of it I don't. I know that my running will return once I'm healed, but I don't know when. I know what running provides me, but I don't know why it sustains me, renews me, and prepares me for future endeavors. Either way, I know that in the near future, I'll see you out on the roads.
