Quote:

"For me, running at Emory is more than just a hobby, more than a sport I do for fun; it has become a lifestyle. I spend at least 20 hours a week with these girls; they're like family. Getting up to run at 6:45 am is no longer a chore, it's a natural part of each morning. The races are no longer nerve-racking events that I dread each weekend; they're an exciting way to track my progress throughout the season. When you love a sport, love a team as much as we do and make the sacrifices that we make for each other, it's hard to see what we do as anything less than a lifestyle."
