Me and my two friends after Adventure Omaha (I'm in the middle)
Welcome to I ran. And I liked it! (Title may of been inspired by Katie Perry’s song) My names Laura & I’m a college sophomore at the University of Nebraska Lincoln majoring in Dietetic-Journalism & Nutrition, Exercise, & Health Science. My goal after graduation is to get my R.D., and become a sports nutrition writer for a magazine publication (aka Runner’s World).
I started reading blogs about 2 years ago and finally got the nerve to start my own. I’m just a girl living in Nebraska going to college whos trying to keep healthy & thin while studying, working, and having fun.
I am a big dreamer and have a lot of goals in life. I really want to see the world & move around a lot once college is over. I just know the world is much bigger than a bunch of cornfields 
I LOVE doing road races. So far I’ve done a lot of 5ks, 10ks, 15k, marathon, dualtholon, Great Urban Race Chicago, & Adventure Omaha. My goal is to do a race in all the fifty states & overseas. So far I’ve got two: Nebraska & Illinois

your fifty state goal is great – I know you’ll make it!
One think I loved about cycling was the organization I rode under, rusa.otg, had “rides” in so many states.
thank you!! I really hope I get it too.
And I”ll have to check into that.
What your going to school for is VERY cool!! I have my journalism degree but I would have loved to have the option to do nutrition and exercise too!
Thanks! Its weird, but like no one has actually completed this degree. You have to take a lot of hours, but hopefully I get my dream job out of it. I can dream right??
Thanks! its nice a profile.
thanks!
