My Thoughts on Getting 5th at NXN

I love NXN! It is always so much fun to meet a ton of new people and to be inspired by those around you. Unfortunately this year I had a pretty rough season leading up to the race, but then again it happens for every runner at some point. I have struggled a lot with nausea and haven't been able to figure it out. I even tried eating meat and dairy again for the first time in years! Luckily, I was able to feel better on race week and compete at my best! I am so grateful to have had my team at NXN this year! They made it all so much more enjoyable. Even if it was a short run with them, it was incredible and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Getting 5th was both a good and a bad thing for me. I feel like I had given so much of my last year fully dedicated to the dream of winning this race. There are always gonna be bumps in the road and incredible athletes to compete with and this year I came up short, but I am very proud of the dedication that went into it and can't wait to continue to the next goal. Also, so grateful to everyone who supported me for this race! Seriously meant the world to me. Let me know what you think!
