There's a lot of disappointment, sadness, and anxiety surrounding what’s to come.

Disappointment because we got to Alabama just to have to leave when they canceled the season. Sadness because I watched my teammates cry as they called home to share the news and I did the same. Anxiety because there’s still so much unknown.

My favorite part about running is the opportunity I have to interact with others and build relationships. Not having that has made life more difficult lately.

While there’s a lot of uncertainty, there’s also hope. Hope in knowing that God is in control and that things will be okay once again. We don’t know when, but we know it will be okay.
