Sprinters and their hamstrings, amirite? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Two weeks ago, I got injured with a grade 2 hamstring strain. Being so close to Nationals, I did everything in my control to make it to the line and compete for a lane at World Championships, knowing that I’m a contender for a medal. I made it through the heats and to the final with one functioning leg. Yesterday I ran for a lot of people. Those who have been supportive and were counting on me. My coach, training partners, sponsors, friends and family who wanted to see me run in Eugene... And I ran for myself. Because rather than throw in the towel when things got really, really hard, I owed it to myself to compete. (And I thought I possibly had a fighting chance to win...I guess to be the best you have to be a little bit delusional 😅) I’ve got a plan to heal up and finish the season. Lots more meets to run. See ya soon 🫶🏽 📸: @mattflynnparker
