I almost didn't run cross country #2

Idk I might as well share my story I had shin splints really bad last year to the point where it hurt to walk. The summer went by and I was getting ready for xc. We had a race before the season and I ran even though my shin splints were coming back. Everyone told me to quit but I love to run and I'd be disappointed in myself and id let my varsity team down. I ran through the season ended up running 18th at state and 2nd school in Illinois (Btw idc if your feature this just cut out my name if you do and were 8th grade if you wanted to know)
