Hi, Sage!
View this post on Instagram

Third place tonight in Hungary and if you know me you know I normally would never smile after getting third in a race □ but the fact is I ran a great first half of the race and I know what I am capable of! The main thing is though I got to run a race! Something I didn’t think I would be able to do this year and I am so grateful to be here in Europe doing what I love❤️ Thank you to everyone who continues to support me and thank you @gyulaimemorial for having me at your wonderful meet! On to the next □□✈️ #racing #nike #running #trackandfield
