❓Question I get asked a lot❓
Whats it like to help manage a super competitive group of athletes?? because not everyone can win and they ALL want to WIN.

My answer is: Everyone gets their turn. 
If there is anything I learned through my 16 year professional running career, it’s that you don’t get to pick your “big and special” moment but you WILL get YOUR moment. Unfortunately, you usually don’t get to chose when it happens.

So it’s best to go into every race(or anything in life) prepared. The big break through is right around the corner and bring with you the mentality of “why not me?” Your time will come. So in the meantime, until it’s your turn, invest in your teammates, friends and family because THEIR success is YOUR success. You pushed them to get there.

That’s my church ⛪️ of Sunday long run sermon 🙏🏼
