New heights... these are what I try to strive for in everything I do. This is my attempt to document the new heights I work toward as after my career as a collegiate track athlete, specifically a pole vaulter came to an end. I know there are still many new heights to be reached!

Turkey Trot!
Kels and I got up nice and early and headed down to our race. We were scheduled for an 8k this morning. It was a pretty chilly morning, and there were a bunch of people there. Race went off at 9:10. It was amazing to run without hills! Race felt great! I actually managed to run without stopping, more than I can say for my other 5ks... Was not super fast, but felt great. Especially for a pole vaulter who never runs more than a mile at a time :) Had a lot left at the end. Some high school girl, running the 5K i think, tried to out sprint me in the last 150m. So as I saw her coming though, I took off. Prob ran about a 20 sec 100 to finish! I def do not know how to run distance races yet! But hey, I am learning! Overall it took me 42:38, unofficially. I am quite pleased!
