I've been running since the time I could walk. I started running for club teams when I was 12, but later decided I wanted to focus on volleyball instead of cross country. I was going to play volleyball at Drake University, where I am a sophomore, but chronic back injuries have prevented me from doing so. To replace the void in my life, my passion for running has been re-awakened. Despite the fact that I was in too much pain to play volleyball, I thought I could tackle a marathon. So, last fall I began training... I ran an 18 mile run and couldn't walk for two days. So, I have resorted to going back to shorter runs (anything under 10) and I'm loving it!
