Running has become a way to test patience, build resilience, and find community. This space is for the work behind the result: early mornings, long runs, race weekends, plant-based fueling, and the lessons that carry from one training block to the next.

Fifth Brooklyn Half, first sub-90, and a 2:36 PR — with coach Sandi Nypaver and a plant-based fueling plan behind it.
