We all get hurt. That’s guaranteed. I do not know one runner who has made it through all four high school cross country seasons without getting shin splints, stress fractures, blisters or the the constant spike to the leg. We all get injured.
You never really understand what a bond of a team can do to you. I was recently diagnosed with Pott's disease and it’s probably the worst thing I wanted for my running career.
When I started running it was because of soccer. I ran for fun in the fall while playing soccer and then played baseball in the spring. When I began I never would have thought the impact it would have on me.
