September 7th, 2009
Even though my 2009 season did not meet my goals, I know it will serve as a very important role in my career. On the positive side, I set an indoor american record in the 5k 14:47, made the World Championship team in Berlin, transitioned into a new training group and coach, and I trained harder than I ever have before. I believe all of the work will not go in vain and these experiences will callous me.
Since Berlin, I have taken some much needed time off from training and I am in the process of getting healthy and mentally recharged! One of the greatest gifts during my down time has been working as a volunteer coach with the North Carolina Men's and Women's Cross Country team. It has been extremely refreshing to spend time focusing on the athletes and NOT myself.
The Carolina athletes are awesome! They have a great work ethic and are dedicated to getting the most out of themselves. I feel fortunate to be a part of the program again. Most of my favorite running memories are from the “good old days” when I ran with a tarheel on my cheek and the NC on my chest. There was nothing better than training and racing with my best friends at my side. I am pumped to spend time with the Carolina team and I hope I can help them achieve their goals.
To kick off the season, I joined the team on their xc retreat up to Zap Fitness in Blowing Rock, NC. We had a fabulous time exploring all the great trails and enjoyed the hospitality and company of all the Zap athletes and coaches. I am excited to watch this team transform over the year. Let’s get the racing started!!
This is my favorite time of the year, football and cross country! Best efforts to all the NCAA athletes.
DREAM BIG!
Go Heels,
Shalane
