Welcome to the official blog of Chris Derrick; the 2007 Gatorade High School Cross Country Runner of the Year and 5k record holder! Make sure to bookmark chrisderrick.thefinalsprint.com and check back every other Tuesday for Chris’ latest entries as he completes his senior year of high school running and begins his NCAA career at Stanford!
About 5 minutes before writing this I got the news that I am free to start running again and more importantly that I am no longer contagious. So after weeks of looking at the prairie path and my running shoes with morose longing, I can finally start on the road to recovery. I’ve been feeling a lot better the last week so I’m excited to get started again.
I’m also excited to go to NON this weekend despite the fact that I am not running. Earlier this week I was given to the opportunity to write the two mile preview for dyestat.com and travel with their coverage to Greensboro and do some reporting. While it will be tough to be around the meet without being able to run (especially if that two mile is as magical as it seems like it will be) I’m really grateful for the opportunity as I like to write and am interested in finding as many professional avenues involving running as possible.
This blog is a pretty short one because nothing really has happened the past two weeks besides some ultimate Frisbee, some working, some basketball, and my graduation party.
