Tons of highs and lows for me because of graduate school, work, and the beginning of my long-distance running lifestyle! Late 2018 was the year it all started, but it was far from 26.2 miles! Late 2020 was the first time I ran double-digits and a half-marathon distance. I signed up for my first marathon in Philadelphia the day registration opened, and I knew there was no turning back! I never thought I would achieve a marathon because I knew it would be really tiring and exhausting. But I survived and had the time of my life!
