Re: What Colleges Are You attending.
Im going to be a freshman at Virginia Tech this fall. I ran high school cross country and track this past year. Are you going to run for their varsity team this year? Just curious, cuz I'm taking a year or two to train solo, run some road races, maybe enter a few meets unattached and then I'm gonna see where I'm at and look into running cross country and track my sophomore or junior year for them. I've also done a little research and found there's a running club right in Blacksburg, very convenient if you ask me. I'm sure the university also has a cross country club. I guess I'd prefer my focus to be on getting adjusted to college life and doing well in my classes the first year or two and doing a varsity sport would probably interfere with that. Good luck this year whether you're running for the Terps or not.

I'm at Penn State right now. I already know that I won't make the cross country team, but thats ok with me. I just run on my own and with ROTC.

I'm not going there yet, but hopefully next year I will be accepted to Appalachian State university in NC. I won't run for the school but I can't wait to start training for marathons in the mountains.

I try the best I can; some days I really don't feel like running; other days I'm ready to kill someone if I don't run.

Re: What Colleges Are You attending.
I'm at Newcastle University in Australia. We don't have an athletics club which sucks but I just run for the fun of it so I'm not too bothered. I'm hoping to try and establish some form of club in the near future.
