What was the greatest obstacle you've had to overcome in your high school career?
Probably my mental game, I've overcome mental block after mental block, and it's always a struggle, but I've overcome so much!!
How do you prepare yourself mentally and physically for a race?
Mentally I always have thoughts that I write down and mantras. Also, yoga the day before a race. I have a goal card that I read every day, and I read that a lot to prepare for a race. Sometimes crying helps, too, just to release feelings. It makes me feel more ready.
Physically I do all the workouts my coach has us do, and I also do a lot of cross-training, and some yoga and ice baths can also be a party.
Any Pre Race superstitions?
Are there any runners who don't have them?! I always have to wear my good luck stuff and have braids, and I used to think yoga was bad luck before a race, but I changed my mind on that.
Most memorable race?
Probably state this year!
