Not even a global pandemic or an injury could stop me from running. During Covid 19, there were many restrictions in my school as to what races we were allowed to run and when. My team and I “masked up” and made almost a whole season possible that year, despite the many obstacles we faced. Another set back I've had has been my injuries. During my junior year, I had achilles and peroneal tendonitis which did not allow me to compete in several races. During this time, my role on my team changed from captain to “assistant coach” and I continued to travel throughout all of Florida with my team and attend all of their practices, even though I couldn’t run.
