I'm a high school student and I have few female teachers that are 26-29 age range. I wonder why they act so depressed most days. Also what times would a girl need to walk on to a good local D3 school?

If you are woman in your late 20's and not married, your life is horrible. Biological clock is ticking
I'm mostly depressed. I decided to go to college and took loans out to go. Now I am in a low paying career and burdened by real world expenses, troubles, and responsibilities. This is why your teachers are depressed as well
I think a less grim way of saying it, is that your mid-to late 20's are humbling. People stop viewing you for your potential and they view you for what you are. In college, it's easy to say I'm going to have this type of career and live in this type of neighborhood, etc., but by late 20's, you've kinda proven whether or not this will actually happen. The cool part is, once you figure this out, you stop caring what people thing about you and start doing things based upon your own goals and aspirations. This usually leads to a nice uplift sometime between 28-33 where you feel refocused and energized on accomplishing goals you picked out, rather than being 24-25 and feeling bad about not accomplishing goals other people had picked out for you when you're 18. Hope that helps!

Well said Steve!
Missed this the first time around... outside of the top 10-20 D1 & D2 programs, most women's programs are DESPERATE for women who will actually stick around and run for 4 years. My sister ran between 20-21 mins for a 5k in highschool and got a full ride to a NAIA school (like D3 but can give scholarships). I think she had a couple walk-on teammates who ran like 27 mins.

You should learn how to use the apostrophe properly.

I was going to say that the late 20s were awesome. Tons of sex and expendable income from reaching some career success, but not being tied down. Guess it depends on which side of the Y chromosome you are on :-/

It really depends on the woman. White women I agree, they are usually hideous once they get over 25 because of a mixture of sun damage, alcohol, and white privilege. Black, Asian, and Hispanic women that stay thin and fit are super hot in their late 20's and early 30's.
There are some exceptions of course but this is usually true.
Goes by pretty quickly. I had some of the best running of my life since I was managing a run shop, bought first house, had first baby. Every minute of the day was filled, between the 130-mile weeks and working 9-7PM... but that was from 26-29.
Great time.
As above post kind of mention, late 20's can be kind of depressing. Many people find themselves in the same place they were in in their early to mid 20's and haven't advanced or succeeded the way they thought.
I had the best year of my life last year at 29. It was like the ultimate convergence of youth and maturity. I was still a young man in my 20s, yet I had far more knowledge, skills, maturity, success and money than I had 10 years earlier. I had the ability to pull chicks of very wide age range - there aren't many women in their 20s or 30s who are not interested in a well-put-together 29 year old. I think your late 20s has the potential to be the prime of your life. The downside is that you don't have much time left to be young.
These guys saying your late 20s are depressing are just depressing people in general.
Best running years of my life. Also dated the hottest women of my life (late 20s, early 30s).
