“Going for a run just clears my head and kind of resets [it] so that I can do whatever I’m supposed to do. I’m really passionate about running; I think that’s probably one of my favorite things to do. Unfortunately, I can’t really do it a lot right now, but when I am able to, it really helps me with stress and just being able to get through the day. [Running is] something that I love to do and it’s nice because you also get exercise out of it. It’s really easy to do [and] it doesn’t cost a lot of money, so I think it’s just something that I can always go back to.”

“If not for skateboarding, I don’t know how I would’ve kept myself entertained in quarantine. I’ve been skating since I was ten when I taught myself by riding around the Boalsburg area. As somebody who didn’t get out a lot, skating got me outside with nature and people, which was great. Especially now with COVID, I don’t have to get in a car to go and do something, but if I don’t want to stay in the house all day I can just go out and skate. That’s what I love most about skating: the freedom to travel and go where I want. There are lots of places I can keep to myself and be completely alone, just to work on tricks and spend some time to myself. It keeps me healthy, mentally and physically, and it makes this stressful time period a lot easier.”
