Take things slow and live in the moment.
As a runner for the Creighton cross country and track and field team, I understand the irony in that statement. My job is, quite literally, to run as fast as I can when I hear that starting gun go off, right?
But something I’ve learned throughout my time at Creighton is that faster isn’t always better, at least off the track and course.
When I got to college, like most freshmen, I wanted to rise the ranks as quickly as possible and win meets and set records, but the older I’ve gotten, I’ve learned it doesn’t work that way.
