Which was the case in 2024. 2025? Not so much. Really can't look back at this one and say I had any races I've been happy with or proud of. 

It's been an easier year for self pity (and there's been plenty), but also good practice on balance, patience, and gratitude. 

That being said, some highlights:
Sharing miles with Christie Ruggieri and being there for her first 8k.

Playing a supporting role in Philadelphia Runner Track Club's incredibly successful first indoor meet.

And getting completely broken by the Escarpment Trail. Excited to give it another crack (god willing) this summer.

Excited to be heading in 2026 healthy. A long ways to go, but healthy. I ain't dead yet.
