i will never look like a runner

Hello! My name is Catie Wiltanger and I am a freshman at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. Although I do not look like your typical cross-country athlete, I plan to run long distances until my legs give out.

The thoughts that come from the mind of a lonely Division 3 distance runner

They come to him after the workout
As He begins to cool down, alone,
Either dropped by his teammates or he has dropped them,
Or Better yet, he ran as a lone wolf the whole way.

Seven Lessons That College Running Has Taught Me

Yesterday was my last regular season meet of my freshmen year of college and with conference only two weeks away and nationals only four weeks away, I thought I'd share some lessons that my first collegiate season of running has taught me for anyone else who is running in college or soon to be.

Running to an end

When I started running it was because of soccer. I ran for fun in the fall while playing soccer and then played baseball in the spring. When I began I never would have thought the impact it would have on me.
