“Can I tell you how excited I was to be back on the track? Just imagine not being able to do what you love for three months. That should tell the story,” said Robinson in a recent e-mail blast.
“I’ll even admit to tearing up as I landed in Salt Lake City. Even being at a race that is pressure-filled, just weeks before the World Championships, I was … Details
