If you read my athletic resume, my various positions would tell you I do not like distance running. Playing forward on the high school field hockey team? Sprinting. Downhill skiing? If you’re an east coast skier like me, it is sprinting. Softball catcher? I sprint to first base when I am at bat. Speed was always my better strength, not endurance. 

So, what convinced me to sign up for the BC Law 5k? It was something fun to work towards at the end of the year aside from my finals and the law review write on. But mostly, I wanted to conquer and build my endurance rather than run from it.
