I'm a young runner with big plans for my future.  I don't think anyone should ever limit themselves as I have yet to limit myself.  Think big and train big and your day will come.  The key to running is patience.  Most people don't have it and give up, all you have to do is outwork and outlast them.  Every day I look to improve myself.  Sometimes that means killing a workout, sometimes that means taking a much needed recovery day, and sometimes it falls in between.  What it all comes down to for me is the innate drive to compete.

Check out my Online Running Journal Blog

It sure has been a long time since I've been here.  And to be honest I probably won't be posting much here.  I just wanted to share my personal blog, my online running journal:

Duncan's Running Journal

I post there daily, logging every run and tracking my progress toward my goals and dreams.  I basically do it just for myself (it helps to keep me motivated) but I thought others may enjoy it as well. 

Here is a very brief update on what I've been up to since my last post here:

Track season didn't end how I had hoped but I vowed to train hard and reach my goals post-collegiately.  I worked hard over the summer, running 90+ miles per week.  Then came fall and I moved south of Missoula to work in a biological research facility.  Having a regular 40-hour/week job put a damper on my training and motivation and my mileage began slipping rapidly.  I maintained between 20-40 miles per week over the winter and didn't get to run at USA XC Nationals like I had hoped (just too out of shape).  Then I saw Bloomsday in my horizon.  Plus it began getting warmer and lighter outside, and I have finally fully adjusted to my work schedule.  I just started ramping up my training again with the hopes of doing well at Bloomsday and beyond.  I started the blog to track my progress.  I hope you enjoy!
