In 2021, I focused on training to arrive back in shape. This year, I continued to improve my strength, speed and most of all, my knowledge. Many transitions occurred this year with my family\u2014all good things, though challenging at times. With this came clarity with stuff that I\u2019ve been asking and praying about for the past four years. Mostly, I\u2019m finding the answers to a lot of stuff that has been on my mind these past two years.<\/p>\n

In hindsight, transition was the common theme for my year. Transition for me to arrive at a place where I have an opportunity to check off some unrealized goals of mine. As a musician, I\u2019m constantly looking inward and self-reflecting. What you hear today might not be what you necessarily write tomorrow. Accepting responsibility for your own growth paves the way for maturity and looking at the whole picture contextually. That four bar phrase that you once thought was hip might not fit the character of the song or the room. Running under 7:00 per mile pace on recovery runs just because elites\u00a0might do so doesn\u2019t mean that you should mimic it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0After qualifying for the NYC Marathon in January, I gained entry to the Brooklyn Half in May.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nTruthfully, I\u2019ve gathered a lot of information these past few years in lieu of not having as many opportunities to train. Not to make excuses, but God\u2019s will, I\u2019m simply in a better situation right now to push my comfort zone in 2023. No, scheduling doesn\u2019t always work out perfectly, but I\u2019m used to that by now. I\u2019m just simply better equipped with the knowledge to progress my training consistently. I honestly don\u2019t know where I\u2019ll end up, but I\u2019m excited to push the envelop in my training and racing.<\/p>\n

\u00a0For 2023, I\u2019m planning to make a return back into marathoning. I\u2019m still looking to improve my speed from the mile to half-marathon, but a marathon personal best is long overdue. I do have a course in mind, though technical and not flat. Yes,\u00a0I’m planning on running\u00a0New York again.\u00a0I believe in\u00a0the realm of possibilities to run a fast time on a non-flat course. Marathoners just can’t approach New York in the same way that one might run Berlin or London. Anyway, I see 2023 as setting the stage for me to really push outside of my comfort zone while enjoying the process\u2014weird to say right? I know there will be moments where I\u2019ll definitely question my why, but honestly the enjoyment for me is tapping into unrealized potential. In other words, I\u2019d regret not trying.
