how is that even possible

you would be surprised how many people are out there running with one leg i like i swear to you though these people are so inspirational and amazing yeah and my coach in particular was like don't think that you're the only one out there that's running like not at their full potential but it's still going to give you a performance that would shock you wow like it it would it would shock you because you're going to push past it because that's what we do as a collective which is great um but yeah so i basically was there and like somehow some way like two months before i was supposed to leave for for doha um it flared up again in a really really bad way and i couldn't i was having trouble getting back into it i had to pass on a few other like team usa opportunities or obligations and they were like oh that's a little funky they were kind of questioning me They were trying to have me run a time trial the day before the race.

And my coach was like, she's not doing that because we both knew that I only had two of those in me.

So I couldn't do two.

And I remember every single part of that race because I was like, once you put that Team USA uniform on, I could be damned if I only have one leg that works.

It's coming around the track, and it's coming around it first.

I don't care what I have to do.

I want to ask you, have you always been an open book with your mental health or struggles?
