@katholischen_miliz I’m so happy for you. As someone who has ADHD, running has always been incredibly valuable for me. Taking a hyper kid with behavioral issues and encouraging them to hone their running skills is pretty counterintuitive, but nothing has been better for helping me develop a sense of discipline and self esteem.
Also, I got a bunch of college scholarships for running, so that’s a thing too. I didn’t end up going to that school, but I was offered a full ride (room, board, tuition, living expenses) to a very expensive liberal arts school. Sooo... that’s a thing too. Nobody ever thinks about running being a legit sport with scouts, but it is.
