“I’m not super talented, and especially right now, I have the most insane school schedule ever. I’m in the marching band, so yesterday’s schedule was wake up, march for an hour, go through school, run like eight miles. … I guess what it comes down to with me and running, especially in races, is I just push myself to my absolute limit. And I literally go to the point where how much farther can I go, how much can I push myself, and can I actually be amazing? … One thing I tell myself during races is run till I vomit, because that’s how I know I pushed myself to the absolute limit.”

“I used to get really bummed after a bad race or a bad workout. Now I keep in perspective that some people don’t even get the opportunity to have any race, let alone a bad one. I am so thankful to be part of such a fun community that celebrates the fast and the slow, the pros and the leisure joggers, the old and the young, the new and the experienced. I am humbled by the hearts and legs of the people around me, both on my team and in this world.”
