I am a college student at small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania. I was born in New York City, but then moved to Virginia when I was in the third grade. I part of a big and loving family. I have an older sister, Evy, and two adorable dogs named Wags and Scruffy. My parents sometimes joke that I like getting to see Wags and Scruffy more than seeing them when I come home from college. At home, I live amongst the most delightful neighbors, who my family and I consider part of our family too. My favorite things to do are <strong>running, reading, and spending time with family and friends<\/strong>. I love to travel and learn about different cultures. Something interesting about me is that I went to boarding school for high school. I am incredibly lucky because I was met people from all over the world. In high school, I discovered my love for running. Which has translated into college, where I run cross-country and track.<\/p>\n<figure data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_28\" style=\"width: 300px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/604144_4861477983114_297609953_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28\" src=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/604144_4861477983114_297609953_n.jpg?w=300&#038;h=300\" alt=\"My high school cross country team getting last minute advice before the meet! \" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">My high school cross country team getting last minute advice before the meet!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_29\" style=\"width: 225px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/995652_10205023240048992_3252531924257136715_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29\" src=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/995652_10205023240048992_3252531924257136715_n.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300\" alt=\"Now in college, I am still running!

Coming down the homestretch!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Running in college makes my days pretty hectic, but I love every minute of it. Everything from my coaches, teammates, grueling workouts, to the freezing ice baths we take. My team is one big family, just like my family at home. <strong>I am writing this blog<\/strong> for my English class. I am really excited, because it is about running, which is one of my passions. In my blog, I hope to share my journey of running with my audience. I am new to blogging, so writing this blog is a <strong>journey <\/strong>just as much as my running is a journey.<\/p>\n<figure data-shortcode=\"caption\" id=\"attachment_30\" style=\"width: 228px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/fullsizerender21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30\" src=\"https:\/\/runsmash.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/11\/fullsizerender21.jpg?w=228&#038;h=300\" alt=\"My lovely teammates and best friends!
