Athleticism has never been my thing. For instance, in my two years of youth basketball, I technically never made a basket. I say “technically” because in fourth grade, in the last game of my pathetic career, I actually hit a beautiful shot as I was falling down. However, in the process I traveled so blatantly

With the sun in the sleepy stages of wakeup, lazily drooping over the horizon, an inner dialogue pulses through my mind for what seems like the thousandth time this summer: “Keep going. When you round the corner, you can take a break. … No, I don’t need a break that’ll just make it worse, idiot

I’ve been a runner since the fall of seventh grade. I ran cross country for six years and track for five, and my running career was similar to that of a lot of girls. I was pretty good in middle school, ended up running varsity freshman year, stagnated sophomore year and suddenly declined during my

Notre Dame students and South Bend residents met at Legends Saturday morning for the University’s annual Domer Run. The race, held entirely on campus, began in 1983 and has raised more than $65,000 for cancer education and awareness programs. Freshman Michael Hernick said he ran because he is a frequent runner and enjoys road races.

Editor’s note: This is the second installment in a series of columns chronicling the journey to the Holy Half Marathon on March 29. “Good luck on your run!” my coworker calls out cheerily as I’m about to leave the office. I glare at him. “Are you mocking me?” He is, understandably, surprised. “I’m trying

“Seek and ye shall find.” It’s a familiar quote from the Bible and a phrase whose various current forms I’m intimately familiar with, after 18 years of my mother telling me to get up and look for whatever object I had misplaced at the time and wanted her to find for me. Studying abroad is
