I was never a runner in elementary school, but that changed when I became a freshman in high school. I was never involved in sports, and I never pictured myself on a team, but I joined cheerleading, and track. I wasn’t joining track at first. I was initially going to join softball.

It motivates me to want to do better in what I’m doing. Putting myself on line to make it to the next race is a
