    insta caption on this race-
    although today's race was not the result i wanted, i gave it everything i had and could not be leaving with a fuller heart.

    it was overwhelmingly beautiful to have so many people tell me i have had such an impact on their lives. it left me speechless. i don’t think I've ever cried so many tears of both joy and sadness at the same time.

    crossing the line had given it everything I had, i was disappointed and in tears… but was immediately surrounded by so many who pulled me to my feet, hugged me, and reminded me of everything i have overcome these past four years and season. my tears of disappointment turned to tears of gratitude. getting a hug from my team hearing the words “you're more than your time and place” reminded me why i run-the people.

    i want to thank everyone who came up to me today and has sent messages. i never realized how much of an impact sharing my story could have, but i’m forever thankful i’ve shared mine.

    i could not have asked for a more beautiful, wholesome, and heartwarming ending to my last HS cross country season. 4A state runner-up with the effort i gave today is something i am proud of.

    although this is an end of a chapter, it’s the beginning of an even better one

    This made me so happy and touched me. I joined cross country this pass season and watching your videos helped me to fall in love with running more. I’m only in middle school, so i still have many more seasons that I am so looking forward to. This cross country season, I experienced so many emotions and had issues with my anxiety and breathing at many races that really limited me. I have been about to pass out and not breathe and my anxiety makes it all way worse. I’ve been trying to control my breathing and anxiousness more and can’t wait for the next season. You are such an inspiration and I love you so much! I would love to meet you some day. Your videos always bring me such joy.

      Hello!! Sorry to randomly reply to your comment, but a group of high school runners and I are creating a project to showcase unique and powerful running stories, different ways endurance sports have changed lives. I also run xc and I've had full blown panic attacks on the starting line before, so I really understand how overwhelming this sport can be. Are you interested in possibly joining the project or just hearing more about it. Totally fine if not, have a great season!

I’m excited to see my running journey and even start UA-cam and vlogging my recovery I had a eating disorder and struggle with mental health and I really want to start documenting my journey to help others!

But recovery has been worth it, and although it’s hard every day, you have really helped me truly 💓

    GOSH Amber i can't even put into words how special this vlog was to watch! First off it was so lovely to see your face and positive attitude on youtube again - I have missed these videos so so much. Congrats on your amazing run and coming second, a true testament to the amazing place in your life you have reached. Secondly thank you so much for your honest talk in the car, as someone who has delt with something very similar but in a different sport it was so wonderful to hear your experience and wisdom coming out of it. Thank you for reminding me to run for the right reasons and that every run truly is a gift :)) Wishing you and your family the best this Christmas season and fingers crossed for a few more vlog hehe. Sorry for the ramble xx

    Hey Amber, I know I'm really late to this video (I've been off social media for a while) but I wanted to say a couple of things and am hoping that the universe will allow you to see it💜
    1. Flying worm haha🤪
    2. I cannot describe how much you are glowing! You truly have transformed into your authentic self. Words cannot do what I'm trying to say justice but know that you are so wise that I could never get enough of your talks, you inspire me to heal from my own ED and mental battles like you couldn't imagine and you are radiating such beautiful energy🦋 Know that you are so unbelievably strong to have gotten through what you did and are a true blessing on this earth.
    3. Thank you for just being you and I am so grateful to experience your videos, I can't wait for the future ones! Take all the time you need gorgeous, we'll always be here xx

    Nice to see you back and sorry about your injury and what happened😭 Then it's important to stay positive, because of the pandemia we all had a difficult year. At least, it looks like it's getting better in the US, here in France it's getting worse and worse and now even if we are vaccinated, we have to wear again the mask full time indoor!

    Awhh I understand EXACTLY what you were feeling!! I have been dealing with eating disorders for more than 4 years at the same time as I have been trying to improve as a runner and an orienteerer. I've been through very tough times and I've honestly been questioning if i would ever be able to compete at a high level again. This year, when I came in 10th and 7th place at the Swedish Championships in sprint orienteering I almost broke down crying because of how proud I was by myself. I still have quite a long way to go, if I will ever be completely well mentally and physically, but I just wanted to say that you have really helped me trust my body a bit more in recovery and you have also made me realize what is important in life. Sounds cliché, but I mean it. Your excitement and joy for running is truly inspiring
