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!

Total Distance
7.00

7 miles around Webster, almost in pitch black because it was so late. For this week I have two 6 milers, three 7 milers, one 9 miler, and a hill day, so I was only going to do one of my 6 mile days today. I was feeling pretty good after about 5 miles though, so I decided to go ahead and just make it a 7 day. 7:50ish average pace.

This is off topic but I am so not ready to leave my family. I feel like I miss them already and I haven't even left. I've never loved and cherished the time I get to spend with them as much as I have this summer, having realized that I'm never truly going to live with them again. Just been spending a lot of time during my runs thinking & praying about that.

Good luck at college and the transition. You appear to have a good perspective and your faith will help see you through the start of your new adventures...plus I am sure your family will always be right there for you.

I appreciate that, thank you! And you're so right, that's what families are for after all.
