Lessons I learned training for two 70.3 triathlons and how I'm using those lessons to train for the New York City Marathon

I run in Hidden Waters. The name of the trail feeds into the modern myth I created for myself in the wake of my wife’s death.

Out with old, in with the new - treat yo’ self!

May is Brain Cancer Awareness month. I took part in Head to the Hill with the National Brain Tumor Society to advocate for better brain tumor policies and appropriations.

Life is more fun when you pursue your side quests.

Self-discipline in training is just as much about knowing when to slow down as it is about getting started.

I’ve had one North Star intention since Julia died - to pursue a good flow of life. I don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t know where I’m going, but I trust myself and I trust my proactive approach to grief.

Grief is its own kind of endurance but through endurance sports, I can actualize the version of myself I am meant to be.

Grief is a force that, if I stop, will pulls me backwards. I don’t want to go backwards. Moving forward means being intentional, finding purpose, and aligning them with my ambitions.
