BUSINESS TRIP TO MYRTLE BEACH🏃‍♂️🌴🌊☀️

Took another Win in my heat!🥇The team went 1234 in our heat of the 1500m! Also raced an 800m for a cherry on top to get some extra work/experience in. Learned a lot from this meet, and had a ton of fun! Nothing but gratitude that I’m healthy right now✝️I’m ready to rip the bandaid off again and chase some standards.

2025, Been through it. I’m still standing. God is Good.

Putting it as honest as I can, this year tested me to my very limits not just with running but as a human being. 
I started off so strong January 1st-April 26th and was riding cloud 9. I graduated High-school, signed to a great college team and school as well as placing 3rd at State. It felt like I was dreaming. God is Good. 

Thats when I got the news. 

I had a femoral neck(hip) stress fracture on the compression side of the bone. If the fracture had been on the opposite side of the bone I would have never run again, and would have had to of had screws implanted into my hip. God is good. 

I Cross trained all summer, and it drained me. 
God is Good. 

I started running again July 26th, I was so happy, but this road of rehabbing was a long and agonizing journey. God is Good. 

May 8th-December 23rd, throughout this period I felt like each day I was being tested. I unfortunately had to miss my opportunity to live and train in flagstaff for the summer due to injury. I got 2 MRI’s, battled tendonitis consistently which kept putting me in and out of training, my capillary in my nose broke almost every single day(HORRIBLE bloody nose) I damaged my prostate CrossTraining. Watched my freshman season of College XC sleep away from my fingertips. I lost a lot of relationships that I cared about during this period. I battled doubt daily. I didn’t understand why this was happening to me, I felt hollow. I felt betrayed. I felt lost. God is Good. 

I came so close to tapping out, but at the very end of this year I learned a very valuable lesson. I must be contempt with who I am because God made me and you in his own image. God wouldn’t have given me these obstacles if I wouldn’t have been able to handle them, and through this experience I’ve found growth and praise God I’ve found better health. God is Good.

Thank you for everyone who supported me during this rough patch. I’m looking forward for what’s to come in 2026. See you on the Track! God is Good. by @ben_running_
