hey dudes!

Hey Y'all!
I feel like I ought to start saying that more often now that I live in the south! Hmm... let me see what I can update you with...

Lots of new things:
1. The other day I was handed a box of business cards that say Assistant Women's Cross Country Coach / Assistant Track Coach! So I was pretty excited about that.

2. I live 12 minutes away from Berry College, which has 41+ miles of trails! And, because the trails climb up Mount Berry, I now have hill-running muscles!!! hahah it's so exciting!

3. I'm currently training for club cross nationals in December. I'm putting together a full team for it, so I'm pretty excited. We're even getting sponsored by Big Peach Running company, so we'll have jersey's and gear too!

4. Training is going well. I put myself on our incoming freshmen training schedule. Which is a bit humbling... but then again, it's been a huge transition coming from flat-as-a-pancake florida. 45 miles/wk in the mountains is easier said than done! Poor feetsies... But, I'm as fit now as I ever have been, and I've only been training for a couple months. So that's good!

5. I love Rome, Ga very very much. I'm renting a sweeeeet house with 2 roommates who are awesome, and I found a crazy church I love to death. My best friend is a Kenyan, and I'm learning to speak Swahili.

I think that's it! Happy running everyone! I'm trying to get Hopfe to bring you guys out here for some meets, so maybe I'll see you in a few months!
