This episode series started with a prompt, “were you a head case or over-obsessed with running in college? Do you have a healthy relationship with it now? Let’s chat about it.” And for our first guest on this series I’m joined by TJ Morales. TJ, a graduate of High Point University was fortunate to have found a knowledgeable and positive community when he began to run in high School and for the early part of college. But what happens when those positive influences are no longer around and you’re left with an environment not conducive to growth in the sport? On this episode TJ takes us through his story of carving his own path in the sport and the barriers and breakthroughs he found. TJ has continued to improvement post college despite an extremely busy life outside of running. I really enjoyed talking to TJ and much of his attitude toward running is something that others can take away as well.
