No sleep, way too much coffee, and definitley a sweat stained suit… but it was all worth it for this week.
First day of teaching as faculty, first first-author paper, and a successful dissertation defense.
Dr. McCandless will be taking the long weekend for R&R, and then it's the tenure grind!

When my people hear that I run ultras, they always ask,”What do you think about the whole time you’re out there?”
So I made this Sopranos x Ultra-running meme as a solid representation of my self-talk strategy in between aid stations.😅

The NMSU grad school held our 3-Minute Thesis competition today. Amongst some great research & presenters, I was able to snag 3rd place! It’s such a fun challenge to reframe your work in a way that is concise, understandable, and impactful for all.

Before moving away from the southwest (more on that coming soon 😉), I want to enjoy all the local desert-mountain trails I can. Last weekend was a 50mile race through the Franklin Mountains in El Paso, TX. Grueling course but beautiful climbs and sights. Volunteers were incredible & helped me get 🥇

Found some old pics while cleaning out my AOL email (showing my age). Before senior year of high school, my dad, my brother, and I took a cross-country trip from Long Island NY to Eugene Oregon. I was blown away by the campus but the true memory was the bonding we all had together along the way.

One thing I will definitely miss when I leave southern NM is the unique & rare, snowy desert days

It is Research & Creativity Week here at NMSU, and I had a handful of my biomechanics students present their research proposals during the poster presentations! They did amazing and I could not be more proud. In all the craziness, I was able to sneak myself into a Lightning Talk too! #BiomechSky

“Researchers frequently misuse velocity for speed in their reports, blurring the line between displacement and distance, as if they're synonymous.”

Quick intro since I’m new to Blue Sky and connecting with all my biomechanics peeps! I am Cabel, a Kinesiology PhD Candidate at NMSU. My research is focused on sport biomechanics, gait analysis, and fatigue. I do sports industry consultation work and in my “free time” I love to run ultramarathons!
