Hi everyone,

This being my first blog let me tell you some stuff about me. I am from Derry New Hampshire and run at Keene State. I like the middle distance events but want to be better at the longer ones. The four years I have spent at Keene I have ran events ranging from 200m - 5000m on the track. I came into college recurited by no one. I wasn't even going to run untill my Dad and my coach talked and thought it was a good idea to try to change my mind. I was heading to Plymouth State University in the middle of NH, no XC team there or Track Team there, so not much motivation to continue my short career. My high school career was short and for the longest time slow and transformed into average. Never ran Cross till my senior year. While I'm in college I have lived a "college life" partying, school and then running. I became more motivated my senior year and trained hard and ran some decent to good PRs in the 800. I qualified for D3 nationals in indoor and outdoor. I got 4th in indoor and failed to qualify in outdoor. with all this being said I am going to try and keep this blogging to keep myself motivated.

This is my first season of cross where I have not got injured and feel strong, strongest I have ever felt. However I think not racing much has help me focus on training. When I do get that itch Ill jump in a small 5k.

I am hoping that big things happen for me this winter and continue to happen through spring. If there is anything else just let me know and I'll add it.

On a side note I just bowled a 211 my new high. Boo-yaka-sha!!!!!!!
