Maybe it’s just me, but I think when we’re young, we believe it’s the big moments that hold significance in our life. Don’t get me wrong, the final art exhibitions, championship races, and milestone celebrations are worth showing up for— they just rarely seem to have the momentous life shift I anticipate. Instead, something insignificant, like a root on an unknown path you chose to run, ends up changing everything.

When I first came to Savannah, I thought I was in for a classic four year college experience. Within 12 hours of touching down in my new town, I went for a run, tripped on a root and sprained my ankle.

You know the next part. I was out for the season, I red-shirted, switched majors, COVID shut everything down, got an extrta year to run, met my best friend, decided to stay a 5th year, added a minor in sneaker and accessory design, was invited to join the master’s program, which took a year to look for a job, lost my best friend, had the worst few months of my life, moved to Australia to escape, became a dive master, came back to school, and used that extra year of eligibilty and started coaching.

And who knows, if I hadn’t sprained my ankle, maybe I would’ve graduated in 4 years with and I’d be working some graphic design job somewhere…

but I wouldn’t have had that extra year to srengthen my relationships, meet all my new people, add those minors, travel… I wouldn’t be who I am.

TURTLE!

It’s the little things… like always yelling “turtle!” as loud as you can, even if it’s the 18th one you’ve seen that day

Finally living up to my instagram handle

Thank you everyone who cheered me on close and far and joined in my celebrations. Yesterday was the first day in a while that I felt happy again, that I felt like I was living again. I can’t express how much I needed it and will continue to need it.

One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was to figure out “why” I run. I thought I knew my answer a long time ago, but now I’m certain. I run because it has connected me to so many amazing people and I will continue to run because it inspires so many more. I think I’m hoping that sharing this will inspire anyone who’s hurting right now to find their why. Not necessarily for running, but for whatever gets them out of bed in the morning.

Why do I try to run fast? Well that’s just between me and my brother. This one and every one after is for you 💛. by @fullerunsfar
