Graduation Year: August 2012 I am a Graduate Student going for my PhD in Biomedical Engineering. I am almost finished with my second degree from Tufts, but the TMT team is on my Tufts Bucket List!

-Albert Einstein A theme for me throughout this process has been the battle to convince myself that I actually am capable of running this race. Still, the feelings of fear and failure linger, but the true challenge has been turning those feelings into motivation and preparation. Balancing discipline and happiness is the most significant lesson I'm learning - and- the most surprising component of all this is that discipline and happiness compliment each other quite well. When practiced, both offer strength and peace of mind. As for my training, this weekend will be an 18-miler. If I can stand after this run, I'm just 8 miles shy of the grand-finale!! Stay tuned my loyal and generous supporters! Thank you again for being there for me!!!

It was a fantastic run starting from Davis Square, travleing through Cambridge and circling around the North End, Financial District, and cutting right through the Common! The sun was shining and I was prepared and hydrated. All I was thinking after the run was, "Last time I did this, I couldn't walk for three days!" Well, that was NOT the case this time. Post-run superbowl (with a NY victory- ooops, sorry Boston) was not bad either. I am definitely looking forward to that long 16 mile run on the course this weekend with the TMT. Pushing the limits here and getting GREAT results!!!! Thank you all for the support and inspiration - I'm putting in those hours and I hope you're proud! View/Hide Comments (0) | Add Comment |
