2023 was the quite the year in sport for me - primarily full of trying all sorts of new things - a 70.3 triathlon, guiding a marathon, and so much more!
Reflections on past running motivation struggles, a lingering goal that has yet to be attempted, and musings on training over the past few months.
I’ve been in a pretty solid funk lately. So, I took myself on a weekend solo adventure to Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Camping at Pocomoke River State Park and paddling the river with Pocomoke River Canoe Company was exactly what the doctor ordered.
As a runner and a conservationist, I see it as my duty to stay engaged. Apathy is a political decision in-and-of-itself, and often comes from a place of privilege. From the local to the federal level, choices are being made (and not made) that impact the places we run, the air we breathe, and the climate that surrounds us. Staying silent means we don’t care enough to speak up for the places we love, the places that shape our passions.
