Interesting Story
For a year after college I lived in Des Moines on my own and started my career as a software developer. I attempted to continue running a little on my own but found it difficult with little motivation because I didn't really know what I was training for. I got pretty far away from the fitness I had shown during college and was going backwards. Then I joined the Minnesota Distance Elite team and moved to Minnesota and it revitalized my running career. I qualified for the next three USATF Outdoor Championships in the 10,000 meters, and now two U.S. Olympic Team Trials-Marathon races.
