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!

Recovery run today, although it didn't feel like recovery. For some reason this run was like a level 8 effort, even though it was just an easy 8:19 paced jog. I just felt so weak and like I was trying super hard to not all but walk. Glad its over.

Side note- I've been looking around at a lot of people's blogs today because, you know, its my spring break and what better way to live it up than blog stalking, right? Anyways I feel like I could count the number of people on one hand that aren't from Utah on here. Got me wondering how I even found this site, all the way over here in North Carolina.... nevertheless, it's pretty cool feeling like if I ever head out west to Utah, there'll be some sweet runs awaiting me with some of y'all that I keep up with on here!

That's right. If you ever need a cheap ski vacation you're welcome to the guest room in our basement!
