It snowed again last night, so I resorted back to the runnig tights and longs sleeve shirt. It was very icy today, so I had to be careful not to take a spill. I ran past a spot where the snow was all messed up, making it apparent that someone had taken a dive. I am going to begin strides again tommorrow and resume with a threshold workout on Thursday. The pressure in school right now is way too high. I have recently been questioning myself on whether I really want to be an engineer. This career does not really fit my personality and skills, nor do I really enjoy it. I want to be able to utilize my talents, not struggle to be something that I am not.

I think in choosing a career nowadays you need to be very flexible. Develop several sets of skills very well. Any specialized set of skills could become obsolete any day, but it is not likely that several will obsolete at once. The ability to reason and learn, on the other hand, will never be obsolete, so if you have it, you should be ok.

As fast as you have gotten in so short of a time, with some careful preparation you could become a professional runner at least for a few years, then possibly use that experience as a coach.
