My Running Start
One of my passions in life has always been running. I started doing track and cross country in middle school. I loved meeting new people and learning about how the sports work. By the time high school came around, I was hooked. I began reading books and spent all my nights looking at times or watching races on YouTube. I started researching running history and came across Gerry Lindgren and was baffled by the acclaimed miles he put his body through. That is when I started a running program where I would do miles upon miles, and all the time keeping a log and doing more research. Thankfully, I had one of my best friends to assist me in my journey, and he may have loved the grinding even more than I have. Unfortunately, I had gone through an injury that had stopped me from participating my senior year of track, and I have taken a break since then. I am not a Freshman in college and I start my running schedule tomorrow, I hope to build myself up to completing a marathon before I even think about retiring again. I am hoping injury free this time, wish me luck!
