I became most interested in running when a middle school coach recruited me to join the team. I learned I love running and that I wouldn't be the person I am today without it. I found out a lot about myself by overcoming challenges and building myself off of them. I love how you get a second family out of running and how your team is encouraging and always there for each other. One of my favorite team experiences was at Nike Cross Regionals. During our race we all pushed each other to do better and my team placed first and I don't think we could have done it with out each other. I love the experience you get from running and I wouldn't change anything from my experience.
