Weekend Fun with Stephen

On my run this morning, I could feel that I had a blister from yesterday but it didn't kill me too much on my run, but afterwards I realized that it had bled a little bit as you can see...







So I got to spend the weekend with Stephen which was really fun. This first pictures here is when Stephen and I went up to snowflex to check it out during his campus tour. The snowflex we have here is ridiculous, its very cool and very dangerous, hence Stephen really wanted to try it.









This morning Stephen and I had breakfast at the good old waffle house a couple of miles down the road. It was very very yummy, the double waffle..so good. The other picture is of Stephen getting eaten by a bear at the lodge up by the snowflex. After waffle house this morning, we went to wal-mart and I got Stephen a Liberty T-shirt and a new lanyard!

This was friday night before Stephen got here, Joshypants, Zach and Jon all dressed up in crazy outfits. Joshypants wore his onesie while Jon was in his Chicken suit, and Zach wass just in tights. They went out and just talked to random people, Caleb and I stayed in the room and watched Chuck.

I wish I had some pictures from David's birthday party. He lives off campus with Jake, Mark, and Josh McDougal, and it was crazy. In the basement they had 15 black lights, and everything was spray painted with glow in the dark spray paint, my white shirt was glowing. It was fun though, people were dancing and there was very loud music. And also I got locked in the bathroom because the door handle came off and I could open the door. I tried knocking on the door but no one could hear me because of the music. So I had to climb out a very small window to escape the bathroom. It was quite interesting.

Well I am headed to church soon, then to do some homework and cheer for the Falcons

Busy Busy Busy

Life has been extremely busy here at Liberty for me. This week is Spiritual Emphasis week, we have a speaker named Clayton King (who is fantasic - www.claytonking.com) and He has spoken Monday at Convocation, Monday Night, Tuesday Night, This morning and he will again tonight. So I have been busy with all of those gatherings along with Cross Country practice, hall meetings, xc bible studies, and school work. Things are going well though, I just cleaned up my room and it is very very clean (yes very clean mom). Above is a picture of the new shoes that Coach Scott gave me yesterday at practice so I will be trying those out in a few minutes at practice.



This is Josh and Nate here this weekend when we all went out and got ourselves 52oz slushies. We get to keep these 52oz jars and a refill at sheetz is only 97 cents! But we had a great time and Josh certainly had a enough sugar that night.




Here is another sunset picture that I took from my room! Its a beautiful area, it is still weird that I am living in Virgina right now.

Well I gotta head to practice!

Liberty vs. Saint Francis

So today was the first football game of the season which was againt Saint Francis Univerisy (PA), Rachel's school. We had a lot of fun! Our team won 52-7 so lots of offense on Liberty's side. The first picture above is Josh, the mascot, Zach and me. Then the second picture is the roommates sporting the towels that we all got.

As you can see, the weather was pretty good, clear skies, sunny, and warm. The second picture is just the field and the football players. Saint Francis is in white and we were in blue.

So here is the Liberty Flames band, they were pretty good and played some recent pop music so that was pretty fun. The big hit was 'lean on me' which was pretty funny. The second picture is of Katie and Jess with the Liberty mascot "Sparky".

Well this is the most energetic character on our team Joshypants, who decided to put the stickers we got (shown on the right) on his sunglasses. All of us freshman xc people sat together for the game.

The picture on the left shows Jess, Joshypants, Zach and Me during the game in our red shirts. The picture on the right is all of us putting up three fingers because the Red Flash had a 3rd down. I don't recall if they made the conversion or not.

Overall it was really fun, tonight I am doing some homework, running at 6pm, then going to get slushies followed by some hang out/movie/homework and then maybe another late skate night tonight.

First Race

Well yesterday I had my first meet at Virginia Tech which was the Virginia Tech Cross Country Relays. The race went really well, on my first leg I ran 11:13 and passed 3 virginia tech runners. I recovered pretty well and then ran another 11:13 and passed 2 virginia tech guys for the team win. My leg didn't feel too bad, I was happy with the race and it felt pretty smooth. I didn't all out kill myself but just got a feel for racing again. My pace was 5:09 and my overtime for 7k was 22:27 which was good. Overall it was an awesome meet, a lot of fun. It was really cool to wear the Liberty uniform and be apart of this team. I love the team and love the God centered attitude that is present. We cooled down around the Virgina Tech campus shirtless which was fun, its such as nice campus. I am really excited to race at Coastal Carolina which is a 6k on Sept. 17 at Mrytle Beach :)

Liberty Flame

Well here I am, I am a Liberty Flame. I got my uniform this afternoon and I am kind of in love with it. I am really excited to race on Friday, and a new bit of information is that I am now running with the ZachAttack my roommate in the relay! So we are both pretty excited about that, we are currently forming a very complex pre race handshake. I had a better run again today so I am starting to earn some more confidence, I don't have to go to morning physical thearpy anymore as well just afternoon icing/heat, stretching and foam rolling. School is busy as usual, I have a bit of homework for tomorrow but after that I should be set for this week.

In the lovely 45 degree swirling ice water :) This is what I do everyday at around 1pm after classes. I am a dilligent little boy and get my exerices done. And mom to answer your question yes I have been eating healthy. I particularly like these chicken salad wraps that we have, oh my they are good.

Zach and I are both really excited for this race on Friday, we are leaving school at 2pm and then we race at 6pm at Virginia Tech. Then the following morning we have a prayer thing to go to as apart of Liberty University's All Night of prayer. Our dorm has the 6am-7am shift so we will be doing that. Then we are having breakfast at our sister dorm and then driving down to the football game against Saint Francis (Rachels School). So that should be fun, and then maybe another late night skate Saturday, we will see.

Okay so here is just a quick update about whats going on here at Liberty. This is my second week of classes and they are going pretty well. I have such a crazy busy schedule every single day. Today especially was/is very busy. I woke up at 5:30am for a morning workout which consisted of 4x7 minute repeats with 1 minute rest. Then we immediately came back to our room showered and went to class. I had 4 classes in a row all the way up til 1:40pm, and then I booked it over to the athletic training room to see a chiropractor. So I am constantly doing something that is for sure. It is like 95 degrees outside, it is very very hot. So I am racing this Friday in the relay meet. I am running with our Canadian Spencer Jackson so that should be good, I am very excited to race again and finally put on a Liberty uniform.

Well I have to go to a xc/track meeting now and then off to dinner and study hall so busy busy busy.

Weekend Life at Liberty

This weekends pictures: top (fireworks, family force five) 2nd row (block party, zach football toss) bottom (sam driving us around)

So weekends seem to be pretty busy at Liberty University. Friday night began with a pool party at coaches house which was fun. We had a good dinner but I didn't stay too long. Then we came back to the dorm and just hung out in our room and watched t.v and I skyped Alex, Hillary, and Rachel. Then Saturday, Zach and I finally got to sleep in for once. Then after we woke up we went down to get some lunch and then went back up to our rooms to do homework. I got a little bit done, and Zach went to go buy a new printer. Then we went for a run at around 4pm which was pretty good, it was really hot out. Then we came back, showered up and headed down for dinner. We ate and then met up with Sam and drove over with him to the block party on campus north. The block party was crazy, they had inflatables everywhere, a rock climbing wall, food venders, and a huge stage set up for the concert. Sam, Zach and I just walked around for a bit. Me and Sam got a little bored so we left and went to his house where some of the other guys where. We got there and played some cards for a whlie and then Sam and I went back to the block party to watch family force five play. It was dark out by then and we just stood in the back of the screaming crazy college students and watched the band. After that was done I met up with Zach and we went to the Tillie to meet up with Joshypants, Nate, Kylie and Katie. We just hung out on the couches for awhile and then it was getting late so we left. A bunch of people were in mine and Zachs dorm area so we stayed up for a little bit until going to bed.
