I used to run five to six miles every other day in high school. I used to be teased by many upperclassmen starting in the eighth grade. They kept telling me, “Weight room, kid! You need to hit it.”
Most of my soccer career, I’ve been told I was too skinny – even from the girls I dated. Fun fact: I once caught my 9th grade girlfriend texting her older sister about how she should break up with me because of how skinny I was. Embarrassing, right?
Running was my expression for my troubles. It was my hobby.
