My name is Logan and I came to
Drury to earn a degree, so that I could move on into the real world where I can
live a content, humble life doing what I love.
I Love Running
I found my love for running over
seven years ago, when I chose to run cross-country as a seventh grader. Ever
since then, I have read, researched, and immersed myself in the science, the
sport, and the lore of running. I love running, almost everything about it, and
I want to be involved in it, deeply involved in it, for the rest of my life.

I Love Science
I love science because I love to
understand how things work. Most of all, I love learning about how the body
works.
Starting my sophomore year in high
school I took a biology course every year. The first year was an introductory
course and the following two years I was part of an I.B. Biology class. In
these classes I learned a healthy respect for life sciences.
My senior
year of high school I dared to enroll in advanced placement chemistry. I took
it because it was science oriented and it was possible to gain college credit;
however I also dreaded the class, I had never strayed from biology and was
afraid that chemistry would prove to be a different beast entirely. I was pleasantly
surprised. Though it was an intensive class, I learned a lot about how things
work at a deeper more molecular level; which in turn, helped me to understand
biology much better. Therefore I am contemplating a chemistry minor.
Running+Science= Exercise science
My love for running and science led
me to choose the exercise science major here at Drury. This degree is more of a
first step towards a graduate degree that would allow me to head a distance
program at a University or a professional distance progam.
