I am a senior girl in high school. I've struggled with an eating disorderfor a few seasons but got really serious about getting better earlier this year. I gained weight and ate a lot and honestly I think I'm fine now. But, I had a stress fracture, multiple tendonitises, and strains to prevent me from ever racing until my junior year. My junior year in xc I ran an 18:27 5k and then got tendonitis and ran 11:36 for 3200m. (Yes, not good I know but I was hurt). I trained all summer, lifted, did core, x-trained and then got another stress fracture (my senior year) after gaining weight and eating a lot! I have started training again ad I have contacted one D1 coach (UVA) I was interested in and he told me to keep him updated with my progress and that if it came down to time I have to decide about a college we'd dicuss if I could make the team or not...they've signed 5 girls already, 2 xc/3 sprinters already. Do I still have a chance? Did the coach sound optimistic? I feel like I have some potential if I can stay healthy. I work so hard and just want it to be okay. I'm trying to stay positive and believe I'll come back faster. I'd appreciate any advice/experience.
