Hey everyone,thanks for checking out my training log. I am hoping to try to run 400 miles this summer so I can reach my goal of running an 18:05 as a Sophmore. Running has become a huge passion of mine ever since I started at SLUH. In fact, SLUH high has, and I quote Mike Jonagan,"...made me addicted to running!" Feel free to check out my mileage and email me with any comments. Enjoy.
