almostdidntrunAnonymousOctober 11, 2017from high school to college running, injury, changedsports, soccer, baseball, ankleinjury, disorderComment Running to an end 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. almostdidntrunAnonymousOctober 11, 2017from high school to college running, injury, changedsports, soccer, baseball, ankleinjury, disorderComment
