Much Needed Sunday
God was gracious in providing a nice, slow Sunday. They don’t always happen and after church I really love spending time with people on Sundays, however, this Sunday I knew I needed some down time and rest.
To be honest, I really was not productive at all. But honestly, I was very much fine with that!
Sunday morning, I woke up in a mini-panic because I needed to get to church for worship practice and I slept too late. After getting ready (in a very fast-pace), I got to church (only 5 minutes late!) and practiced with the team.
After worshiping as a body of believers and an encouraging church service, I headed home, snacked on a banana as pre-run fuel, and checked the weather. This is so sad, but I when I realized it was twenty degrees out, the first thought that came to mind was ‘Wow, it’s warm!’ Man, you know you live in the midwest when…
Anyways, after a banana and peanut butter, I geared up and ran a quick five miles. I was excited to see that all five miles were under 8 minute miles and my shins felt great. During my run, I spent time with the Lord in prayer. That is one of the reasons I love to run. It is really my time when I am able to escape from the world of distractions and focus on the my Savior.
Another great thing about Sunday’s run was that I was not freezing! Twenty degrees and no wind for the win!
After my run, I took a hot shower, drank some water, ate a bowl of Greek yogurt, and slept for 2 hours. Let me tell you, nothing is as glorious as a run, shower, and nap in that order! Please try it sometime and thank me later.
Once I woke up, I spent some time reading and pinning quotes like this one.
You have to love C.S. Lewis.
I ended the night with the finale (!) of Downton Abbey Season 5. I won’t give anything away, but I will say, it was a lovely episode. Anyone else a fan?
It really was a wonderful Sunday and just what I needed. How was your weekend? Anything fun or exciting or was it more low-key like mine?
I’ll catch you all later for WIAW!
