I’m tired of keeping secrets. I’m tired of telling half truths. But most of all, I’m tired of living with an eating disorder. 6 weeks ago I left altitude camp with my team and admitted myself to a partial hospitalization program for eating disorder recovery. It was not entirely my decision, but I truly appreciate usatf and brooksrunning in helping me take this step and supporting me along the way. This has been the hardest thing I’ve done in my life. It is challenging, uncomfortable, uncertain, and pretty much every other feeling that I just don’t like. I’m really scared, but I always tell myself that being scared isn’t a good reason to not step to the line for a race, and I think that rings true here as well. I was afraid to share this on social media, but I’m more afraid of the disservice I would do to other individuals who share similar struggles by keeping this to myself. This shit is hard, but it’s not uncommon and (apparently) it’s possible. Link in my stories to the YouT...
