As a distance cross country runner when I heard the news that I needed to get surgery and take two weeks off of training, I was devastated.  I have a strong goal to run the fastest 5k of my life my freshman year. I have built up such a strong base over the last two weeks running 30+ miles in one single week.  Summer cross country training is where most of your gains are made in preparation for the fall season. But it looks like I can’t run for the next two weeks. #crosscountry #running #distancerunning #marathon #5krun
