These are my year-end totals for running over this past year. A year in which I spent the first three weeks of January having numerous invasive health tests done, which limited my ability to get out on the trails to start the year. A year that had me fighting metatarsalgia in my left foot for over a month, which kept me at lower mileage as I nursed it back to strength. A year that had me fighting COVID for two weeks straight and stripped me of nearly three months of fitness in just those two weeks of downtime. See, sport…especially endurance sports…push you to your limits, reset your expectations, humble you, increase your empathy, inspire you, call you out when you think of phoning it in, and most importantly in my case…keep my mental health in check. I guess you could say those first six things are a recipe for the last.

Over the last few months, I was given the okay to start running again. I had missed it terribly. Running long distances has always been something I’ve not only had a penchant for but has also been a meditation practice for me. People often ask me what I think about for hours at a time when I’m running these long distances. Honestly, I try not to think at all. I just try to breeze through trails as you see in the photos below.
