Sometimes I think the only way to clear my head is to just get up and leave. Go somewhere completely different, where I don’t know a single soul, and just hop on trains, hike, stay in hostels, in homes, see things I would have never seen and experience things I would have never experienced otherwise. Sometimes I think this is the very way to uncover some things inside of me that have gotten pushed down and blotted out by the stresses and responsibilities of life. I guess I’ll find out.

How I did it
How I did it: I studied. A lot. I went to coffee shops, chugged caffeine, worked to put myself through school, never rested. Ok, maybe I found a little bit of time to relax...if I didn't, I would have keeled over. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started off with a training group, but only stayed long enough to get a set plan for training...then I branched out on my own. I began training in May, increasing mileage each weekend, until about the 10 mile point, when I would cut back to half of what I had done the previous weekend. So after 10, I'd run 5, then 12, then 6, 14, then 7, etc, until I reached 23 miles. Read how I did it…
