Monday another low key workout this time with a medicine ball and then 5 lbs weights.
3 sets of 30 tossing the medicine ball straight up in the air from my chest and bringing it back down.
After each set, 2 laps around the track. The first time holding the medicine ball at the chest and pushing it straight out. The second time doing curls with the medicine ball. The third time swinging the ball straight out from the hips.
With 5 lb weights...3 sets of 10 squats and front leg kicks. Then butterflies and back leg kicks.
Definitely can tell my arms/shoulders are out of shape, but hopefully overtime, I can get the muscles back in shape. I look forward to another white water rafting trip and not feeling like I will be the one holding the team back.
Tuesday flexibility class.
Wednesday, I worked at home.
Thursday, another low key workout for the arms, shoulders, back, and hips. I cannot remember everything that happened but here are some of the exercises done. Squats, one foot balances pulling the knee forward and then kicking backwards, arm raises straight out to the side (these were hard), and a few more.
Friday a long drive to St Louis for the weekend, nothing special on the workout side.
Saturday, I attended a conference for most of the day, where I stood on my feet for a couple hours as I co-presented on Strengths to college students.
Sunday, I cleared my car of several inches of snow and cleaned a bit around the car before driving back home.
The start of some good things. Hopefully, they will continue in the positive direction.

Wow...Almost 2 Months of No Posts
Anyone still out there???
Definitely did not realize that almost 2 months have past since the last post.
I definitely have some thoughts on posts and actually started one several weeks ago but never finished it.
The last post mentioned coming down with a sore throat. That lead into a 3 week fairly intense sinus infection/cold along with pink eye and another week to week and half of still having after effects of the infection that took over.
Besides being sick for an extended period of time, life has actually been amazing and wonderful. The Lord has been so blessed and open, especially for three straight weekends.
End of February, I lead a young adult retreat for a small crowd titled "Your Epic Adventure".
The next weekend, I attended the Simply Youth Ministry Conference in Indy, an amazing weekend that I hope to share more about soon. God definitely was speaking to me on a couple levels. I am really looking forward to working with our youth ministry coordinator to advance our ministry work at church and beyond.
The following weekend was the HS youth spring retreat titled "Heroes". I played a supportive roll at this retreat after having a couple busy weekends prior to that. I did lead the youth in the Rosary and a little discussion of how the Rosary is a good tool for our heroes tool belt.
This past weekend, I had a wonderful time with my family. I got to hang out with my cousin and aunt a lot on Saturday playing in a corn-hole tournament for Special Olympics and playing Rummikub. Then Sunday my family had an old fashioned Sunday morning gathering at my cousins. It was great to remember times with the family when our grandparents were alive.
Which brings us to this weekend and the churches intergenerational Lenten retreat. I will be sharing this weekend a talk that I did in the fall for HS retreat with some modifications and additions.
There is so much to share about the goodness of the Lord in the past few weeks. I really hope things slow down a bit and I can take time to share again very soon. In the meantime, I really hope that I have not lost all of my readers.

A Month Later - Lots of Things Happening
Wow...this has turned out to be one crazy but fun semester. I will attempt to touch on some highlights of the last multitude of weeks, without boring you too much.
In five weeks, I have made 4 trips to Kentucky, 1 to Indy/Cleveland/Chicago/Indy, and 2 to Indianapolis. This is the first weekend in the last five weeks that I will not be leaving town, though on Wednesday I will depart for Western Kentucky for Thanksgiving.
Kentucky
* UK vs LSU Football game and Georgetown's Homecoming - Both of which turned out to be wonderful opportunities and experiences. I will post a picture or two of the game in another post.
* A couple from YAACK and two friends of mine got married on Oct 20 at Christ the King. It turned out to be a beautiful weekend for a fall wedding, and I was honored to be apart of the wedding as a reader. I am just thankful that I still had a voice on Saturday and was not too sick with a cold at that point in time. God was watching over everything.
* Halloween night provided a quick trip to KY for the Georgetown College vs University of Louisville basketball game. Thanks to a friend of mine who invited me to join her and her husband for the game. I was proudly wearing my orange and black in support of the Tigers. The game did not prove to be as exciting as the previous years but it was still nice to watch the Alma Mater and attend my first game in Freedom Hall.
* Last trip was to celebrate my friend Chris's 30th Birthday party. I had to make sure he rang his 30th birthday in right :-)
Cleveland (Indianapolis/Chicago)
* Between the wedding weekend and the birthday weekend, I attended a conference in Cleveland, Ohio. Travels took me to Indy with a return flight through Chicago. The conference was very small and different from other conferences that I have attended in the past. It was the History of Education Society and programs are base more on paper submissions with panel discussions.
The purpose of attending the conference was to present a paper on faculty governance. My previous supervisor, our spring practicum student, and I put together a paper on faculty governance at IU, which we then presented on a panel with two other papers on the history of faculty governance. The panel presentation went very well, except for unlike the wedding, the cold was a bit worse and affecting my voice. We received some good feedback from the panel discussant and others in the audience. I will update you more in the future on how things progress towards potential publishing of some of our work in the future. There are no guarantees at this time, but we are looking to publish a journal article somewhere.
Indianapolis
* Both trips were for the same reason, but instead of staying in Indy, I went with others back and forth last weekend for another conference. This conference was specifically for graduate students in higher education student affairs programs in the midwest. IU and our student personnel association was the host of the conference this year. A friend of mine was the chair of the conference and did a fantastic job of putting together a nice conference. On Sunday of the conference, I presented a program on leadership, which went fairly well though could have been better. It was definitely a learning opportunity and the start of what will hopefully be further program presentations on leadership.
This Weekend
* IU vs Purdue Football Game - Tomorrow, I will attend my first Big Ten and IU football game and tailgate. I did attend one other tailgate at the beginning of the semester but this will be my first full blown experience of Big Ten football. I am looking forward to it, as long as I get a few hours of sleep tonight.
Well there are some of the highlights from the past 5 weeks. I will try to post a few more stories soon.

Orlando, Here I come
By this time Thursday, I will have hopefully landed in Orlando, FL. Thursday through Sunday morning will be spent outside of the city in DeLand, FL (home of Stetson University). A Georgetown friend, his girlfriend, and their dog live there, where he works as a Chemistry professor. It has been a couple years since I have seen my friend and since I failed to go see him while he was at UNC, I figure I should take this opportunity to visit him. I am looking forward to a few days of fun in Florida.
Then Sunday through Wed April 4, I will be at the Gaylord and Marriott hotels for the ACPA/NASPA Joint Conference. ACPA and NASPA are the two largest student personnel associations in the country. They hold a joint conference very rarely and are expecting close to 10,000 participants. A ton of things are going on and I hope to learn a lot and meet some outstanding individuals.
Now you know why you most likely will not be hearing much from me the next couple of weeks. I will update you all on my return and look forward to catching up on whats happening with all of you then as well.

Off to Kentucky on Business
Tomorrow morning, I am off to Kentucky to attend a College Personnel Association of Kentucky Conference at the Holiday Inn. A colleague of mine invited me to go down with him, which I am greatly appreciative because it will be a great learning and networking experience, as well as a great opportunity to catch up with some old friends and colleagues from Kentucky.
In other news, another hour of my masters is complete assuming that I passed the final in Law (1 hr, 8 week course). It also means that I have one less class to attend for the rest of the semester, which normal equates to additional free time but not for me. Instead, I will be at work and actually getting to partake in the other half of my job, which is attend University and Bloomington faculty council meetings. I am looking forward to the opportunity to actually experience an entire meeting for the first time since I began in August and actually go to a University Council Meeting.
Next week, I am also getting a student personal trainer. Every semester there is a personal training course and students are paired up with individuals interested in having a personal trainer for the last 8 weeks of the course. I missed out last semester and signed up too late, but was able to get on the list this semester. I am hesitate but at the same time excited about the opportunity to develop a routine for working out. I will update you on my progress as the semester goes.
