I am almost done with my collegiate career and about to begin my post-collegiate career. As one life ends, another begins, so they say.
Most people don't look forward to their last race as a collegiate athlete but I am not fearing it. I see this as an opportunity to become even better as a runner. I have progressed quite a bit over the last 5 years but looking back I know I could have done a lot more and it would be a waste to not continue running.
I'm not too pleased with how my final season is turning out because I have been plagued by injuries since last September. I'm not upset though since college isn't the final chapter, only a new beginning.
