Short jog on Claremont's track, so nice. That campus is really pretty.

My achilles aren't doing great and I need to see a doctor about that. They've been bothering me for a few months when I run but also aren't getting better when I rest them.

But most importantly I'm going to Bowling Green State University to get my PhD in Industrial Organizational Psychology!!!

I can't wait to get started. It's still hard to believe I'm in. I mean Bowling Green IO has been my first choice and dream grad school program since I planned my route to grad school years ago and now that it's actually happened it's hard to believe!!! I was on the wait list until Friday and the deadline was Monday... So it's been a wild process. I seriously can't get off this emotional high or stop planning for grad school. I also can't make myself believe I'm actually going to BGSU this fall, I don't know how long it will take for me to really believe I made it. Maybe once I'm there. I'll be prepared though, and I will be visiting bowling green in May so hopefully that will make this more tangible.

The success I have in life will always have strong roots back to my running experience. Rob Murphy is an incredible mentor and coach, and he brought out some of my best qualities during my time on the team. I am lucky to have learned from him. This is the beginning of what I'm sure will be the most demanding part of my life so far. The same discipline and persistence I developed on my way to becoming a solid runner at Alta will be essential to my success as a grad student!
