As a student I have always been successful. Things just always seemed to click with me and I knew the value of putting work into my schooling. What I didn’t realize until around my junior year is that this transfers over into running as well. I have put in a significantly larger amount of work this year and the improvements are coming. I am already a minute faster in my 5k than I was last year and I’m shooting for high goals in track as well. This is valuable because it means I still haven’t peaked. I have miles and work left in me. I’m a coachable body ready to be trained. For now, I’m doing my best to find ways to improve myself with the limited knowledge of my coaches and I. I would love to go to a college where I can succeed academically as well as on a track.
