University of Pennsylvania

This blog may be the best indicator of how hectic my life has seemed over the last 6 months. In June I bought a house and have since decided to move to another job. I started at Penn as soon as the cross country season ended at UAB this fall. Everything between the day I closed on my house in June and today has been an entire blur. The decision to switch jobs was complete with restless nights filled with worry and stress instead of sleep. The process was made official with this press release. Also, I spent some time reflecting on the meaning of my work and how it translates to the commitment necessary to become a successful runner. I wrote a blog entry for the Run S.M.A.R.T. Project website. Check it out here: http://runsmartproject.com/coaching/2010/12/18/take-back-your-run/
