It's a crisp 43° in Columbus. Thanks to all of the studying I got done in the last few days, I got a chance to do something I've been meaning to do since I got here- jog along the Olagntangy River. The air is perfect for a run, feeling the cold air on my face while steam rises from my arms. I found a small bog where I stopped, cooled down, and reflected on my time here. It's the end of Week 8- I still just barely feel like I have a handle on things, but through all of this work, a lot of great things have happened. This pause is exactly what I needed. The song North by @wearephoenix was playing in my headset, giving my jog a soundtrack supplied by water flowing over rocks and light D chords. This is a lot of work, and it's exactly where I need to be.
