TW: eating disorders “As a collegiate distance runner, I had 12 seasons of eligibility. I used four and then was faced with medical retirement after being diagnosed with three high-risk bone stress injuries at once. I often wonder if I had addressed my eating disorder sooner, would I have had a full NCAA career? Would I have had a fairytale ending? I think everyone expects a comeback, especially from a dedicated athlete. Did I expect anything less of myself? I think you know the answer by now. I was dealt a different hand and I’ve (on most days — because I’m human) come to accept that.” Read “My (Un)conventional Comeback Story”, by Kate Daley, on the blog now!
