I’ve mentioned in past posts how the beginning … More Celebrating this marathon training cycle + how races equal life
I spent this past week back in my hometown, Poughkeepsie, NY. This week was everything I needed to feel whole again.

It seems … More Whole weekend outdoors + week 7 of marathon training
One of my biggest struggles is balancing priorities. Between making a good impression at work, seeing my friends, training for 2 marathons a year, and on top of that studying for my actuarial exams (each sitting requires 300-500 hours of study!), sometimes I question if I can do it all. Exams have never come easy to … More Finding balance between work + life + studying + running
