It is great to be home. I am done with my semester, done with FINALS, and ready to relax a week. At least, that is how most college students feel about Winter break.
Of course, if you are a student-athlete, it is a bit different. Winter break is a great time to get in a lot of training without the normal distractions. Coaches know this and capitalize on it.
Don't get me wrong, I love being able to devote all my time to training. It kind of feels like I am getting a glimpse of what it would be like to be a professional athlete, which is neat.
Basically, what I think I am getting at, is that being a student-athlete is really a handful. We do not get the breaks a typical college student has.

Who am I?
Hello, my name is Jason Pedersen.
I am currently a student-athlete at Northern Arizona University (NAU). If you have not heard of it before, it is a Division 1 school in Flagstaff, Arizona (way up at 7,000 ft). I run on the cross country and track and field teams.
This blog is not intended to be directly about my experiences at NAU, although it may turn into that, but rather about the experiences a student-athlete goes through.
