Since an early age, Molly Huddle has been determined to be an elite runner. So much so, that she didnÂt allow the absesnce of a cross country or track program at her high school stop her- she simply made her own; with herself as the only team member. Since school records were too easy to come by, Molly decided to go out and break the national high school 2-mile record of 10:01. Following a stand out collegiate career at Notre Dame, Molly has found success running professionally for Saucony, and has found a new team. Under the tutelage of Ray Treacy, Molly trains with some of the finest female distance runners in the world in Providence, RI. This environment has proved to be beneficial, as through her 07/08 campaign, Molly has set PRÂs in the 5,000 meters (15:17) and bested the Olympic ÂAÂ standard in the 10,000 meters (31:27). Molly continues to be one of the premier distance runners in the United States, and recently made it to the 5,000m and 10,000m finals at the 2008 US Olympic Trials.

I’ve done a lot of analyzing and looking backwards in the last few journal entries. I’ve looked back into the season’s mistakes to glean from them morsels of wisdom and lessons which...
