“I really love to run; I think it’s a great activity. It helps me feel good and when I run I feel extra fit and like I’m getting a good workout in. I usually listen to country music when I’m on runs which is kind of weird because most people think country music isn’t motivational, but for some reason the old town country sound makes me go faster. During cross country and track season, I like to keep making new goals for myself which also helps motivate me towards being an even better runner. My favorite trail to run is the pipeline trail. A lot of the time, I push myself during easy runs even though I don’t need to. Since I’m a captain for track, I try to motivate younger girls who are getting into running because when I was in freshmen and sophomore year, I really appreciated the older girls motivating me and cheering me on.”
