I Don't Have A Sprinter's

I'm Always Nervous. If I Wasn't Nervous, It Would Be Weird. I Get The Same Feeling At All The Big Races. It's Part Of The Routine, And I Accept It. It Means I'm There And I'm Ready.

The Biggest Way I Stay Motivated Is To Run With A Group Of Friends. Sometimes It's Hard To Get Going By Yourself, But If You Have A Plan And A Meeting Time, You Know This Run Will Happen For Sure. It's A Way To Have Fun - While Also Getting In A Workout. Plus It Distracts From Pain, Helps You Fight Fatigue, And Gives You That Extra Push.

What's Really Heavy On My Heart Is Fighting Physical Inactivity.

For Me, There's A Lot Of Expectations And You Want To Be Able To Live Up To Them.

My Mom Is Great And I Make Sure That We Pray Together Before Every Race. She Helps Me Put Everything In Perspective And Remind Me Of The Real Reason I Run.
