March Motivation

---

What is your favorite part about being a patient at TRST?
I thoroughly love the friendliness and optimism expressed by the therapists at TRST. I also enjoy the interesting, running related conversations I have with Tomilyn...I have had a wonderful experience at TRST and would recommend this...to all athletes!

Why do you run? (or swim, bike, hike, play baseball, do yoga, Crossfit, etc.)?
 I run because the feelings I get from going out on a long run or finishing a hard workout is like no other.  I enjoy the competition track and field and XC has to offer.  I love everything but the injuries.

What is one of your current goals for your health or sport performance?
One of my main goals I have for my sport performances is breaking my JC 5000m record of 14:30.  A tall order but I like high goals.

Who is your athlete role model?
My favorite athlete and role model is Matthew Centrowitz.  He is so fast and so confident.  In races, his winning celebrations are so funny it makes me laugh.  I can tell he works hard everyday based on the videos I've seen of him over the past years and it's been such a motivation for me to keep working harder.

What is your favorite post-competition meal ?
Actually, my favorite post-competition meal is IN-N-OUT!  I also take every chance I get after my race to grab a bag of skittles at the concession at the meet or at a gas station on a bus ride home.
