“My decision to walk away from track and cross country was my decision, and mine alone. At first, I had the intention to just take one step away. One step back, to regroup and refocus on me. Focus on my physical challenges…Focus on my mental challenges.”
I found myself standing at a split in my road of life. To my right, was the healthy path filled with a balance of food and exercise. To my left, was the path of unhealthy decisions surrounding food and my health. I had taken a few strides down the left path. I wasn’t eating enough at the time, barely hitting 1000 calories a day while still running almost 50 miles a week and lifting for upwards of three hours a day. I was not healthy, both physically and mentally. It was in that moment that I knew I had to walk away.
