There is a joke among my teammates that has become more and more distinguished throughout the past two years. The joke has to do with the relationship between talking on a run and the pace of the run, and the joke is on me. One of my teammates told me I should talk while I race, because it seems the more I talk, the faster I push the pace. Though this seems backwards to talk more as your pace quickens and your breath becomes more rapid, my teammate had a point. I am not a science major, but I do know from running that endorphins released while exercising have an effect on the body and mind that no other sensation can compete with. This “runners' high” causes me to keep pushing, keep talking, keep running even in the harshest conditions, and to enjoy every minute of every run (or at least the majority of runs). There is a story I have been following via Runner’s World on Twitter, about Micah True, a legendary ultra-runner nicknamed “Caballo Blanco,” and featured in Christopher McDougall’s book “Born To Run.” Caballo Blanco (since this is a running blog, it only seems right to refer to him by his famous name in the running world) went missing on Wednesday morning after he didn’t return from a 12-mile trail run. Around 6 p.m.
“All I do is file papers. I’m not learning anything in my job. I don’t want to give up on my education.” These were the words Charles Price used to quote a welfare recipient in New York who struggled to maintain welfare status while working and attending school.

The Elon Network shows students they can get career insight not only from the professionals, but from fellow students as well. This year’s annual Elon Network gave students the opportunity to meet with both students and professionals with experience in their interested fields. Brian Serow, a senior marketing and entrepreneurship major and student director of the Elon Network, wants students to be able to have job opportunities from alumni after they graduate. “There’s a whole level of connection that we don’t have,” Serow said.
Elon alumni showed students it is possible to live internationally after graduation. Students got a chance to have a question and answer session with young alumni who have lived abroad at this year’s Destination International event. The Destination series of presentations is designed to give students the opportunity to talk with recent alumni about the different cities in which they live or work.

Have you ever tried to have a conversation about a person you know without using gender pronouns? It’s harder than you might think. Making a call home to update your parents on interactions with your roommates, friends and professors could prove especially challenging if the words “he” and “she” were off-limits. The role that gender pronouns play in our daily lives and daily conversations was brought to my attention today during an interview with SPECTRUM member Raafe Purnsley.
The Academic Council has clarified policies and procedures with respect to discrimination and prejudice on campus with a new policy. According to Brooke Barnett, the senior fellow for diversity and global engagement in the Office of the President, those who have worked on creating the new policy want to stress that Elon now has policies for any form of harassment or discrimination, and the new policy clarifies the process for reporting incidents of harassment and discrimination. The Academic Council passed the handbook change in February, and in early March the faculty approved it unanimously.
