What has challenged you the most as a runner? Having Diabetes has really taught me not to quit. It would be so easy to just stop training and being able to use my Diabetes as an excuse to quit the team. Quitting has never been an option to me in my life and I wasn’t going to start then. Everyone goes through different things and everyone has their own struggles, but they shouldn’t be used as an excuse to not work hard or to quit. While it’s not easy to go through the struggle, it’s always worth it in the end and I have really come to learn that in the past two years of having to deal with this disease. Don’t quit, use any struggle to push you to places that you never thought that you could go, it will make you a better runner and a better person if you do.
