Personal:

I currently run for Wofford College in South Carolina, where I double major in biology and Spanish. I will be spending 5 months studying abroad in Chile in 2017. I love cookie dough a little too much and spend most of my free time outside or asleep (or both). Living & running to know Christ and to make Him known!

Race: Asheville Cross Country Carnival (3.1 Miles) 00:20:15

Total Distance

7.80

First 5k of the season! I feel good about it. I was shooting for the sub-20:30 and I definitely got that! We did so great as a team as well! Last year at this same race we did awful and only had 1 girl so sub-20, and today we had our top 4 sub-20 and Jamie and I not far behind. Me, Jamie, and Chandler ran together or right near eachother for most of the race, which I was happy about. They had a pack of 4 up front as well, so if we can just close the gap between our packs we'd really move up in SoCon rankings. Anyways, mile 1 was 6:22, mile 2 was 12:50. My kick was really strong, perhaps too strong? As in, I could have gone about a hundred meters earlier but I didn't realize the chute was so close! Still, I'm pretty happy with it.

3 mile shakeout with Mell + abs when I got back to campus!

That's so awesome!! If we ran together we could pace so well off each other! p.s. what is your actual name, Salem Lake Dragonfly? :)

Cool! And that's always good. Are you still in school or running with like local running/friend groups?
