But, I always had an excuse to put it off: The money, getting my children through high school and then college, my love of free time that didn’t involve running. I knew it was time for a step forward, and that an MBA would make me more marketable. I spent 12 years before that as a community journalist and newspaper editor, covering everything from education issues to writing long-form human interest stories from across the state of Wyoming.
MY SECOND RASH CAREER DECISIONįirst, some background: In August 2020, I was working in healthcare marketing and communications, a role I had been in for about six years. Now, I’m not saying my online MBA program through the University of Wyoming is like crying my way through a high-elevation marathon. In that bathroom, with 13 more hilly miles to go with a bum knee and under-trained lungs, I wanted to quit.

The furthest I’d made it in training was 14 miles, barely half of the full 26.2. (The lengths a features editor will go for content for the summer wellness magazine, am I right?) Worse, I’d agreed to do it all very publicly, updating the entire state of Wyoming on our training progress in my statewide newspaper, the Casper Star-Tribune. The last time I made a rash career decision on a whim, I ended up halfway through my first marathon crying in a park bathroom.įour months earlier, I’d agreed to run the Estes Park Marathon - one of the highest-elevation marathons in the country - in solidarity with a younger, fitter colleague who ran for fun in her free time.
