XC Meet #2

So, I finished in 23:37 (we ran a 5K) and I felt really good about how I did. It was a pretty tough course, so everyone's times were slower than normal, which means that my time will be faster when we do an easier course! I thought it was a fun course, even though some of the others didn't really like it. It was at Willamette University, which is in Salem, and the park was really beautiful!


As for school, it's been going pretty good. I have my first Anatomy exam on Monday, so I will be spending the whole weekend studying. I can't believe I've been in classes for three weeks already! Time has been going by so fast. I could be really overwhelmed right now, but it's really been amazing how much peace the Lord gives me when I make time for him every day. It's the most important part of my day! I am starting to feel like this is a home away from home, but I do have bursts of time where I really miss home. At least I know that Jesus is always with me!

Thanks! I'm not really sure if it was Bush park...it was by the Willamette football stadium. There were some hills though. Not as many as I was expecting.
