Overview
"My thesis marks the beginning of a memoir about the mental, physical, and spiritual growth that stemmed from my experience as a competitive distance runner in high school and college. Running was both poison and antidote to my natural anxiety, teaching me to cope with my fears even as it brought a host of mental and physical issues: anxiety attacks, iron deficiency, mysterious collapses, and, in the end, an unexpected hip surgery that stripped me of my ability to run. Why did I keep running? And did I ultimately gain more than I lost? These are the questions that sparked my memoir and underpin the storyline; my thesis, in tracing the origin story of my cross country journey, begins to present an answer. As it details my unprecedented success as a clueless high school freshman, it explores the ties that bound running to my anxiety and to my faith." -- Abstract
