Some post last “long” run of the taper (from last weekend) rambles turned into pre race morning thoughts and love! So much of this wouldn’t be possible without all of the absolute love and support I’ve gotten along the way! From the friends who came on anyyy kind of run with me, the ones seeing me on the sidewalk and cheering on a random weekday knowing what I was running for, the coaches who pushed and motivated me to just keep going, my clients (they don’t get any better), friends checking in and motivating, the worlds greatest “coworkers”..family who you would have thought were running right with me, my own FAMILY who have been there every step of the way long distance (and at home this summer), and especially my parents who had their own marathon to get to NYC to see me do this thing. I seriously could not have gotten here without you allll!

Thank you isn’t enough but I don’t have enough words to do more than that.

Put your mind to it and you can do anything in the world. This is proof! And I cannot waitttt to celebrate this with you every step of the way! Let the biggest block party of the year begin!❤️🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏼|| 11.2.25

Two years. Two years of taking a girl that’s notttt a runner (like zero amounts of joy in running and would have rather done anyyything else🫠) and having her run 9 races - 3 of which were half marathons and had never ran more than maybe 5 miles in my life..-, volunteer for one, earn entry to the marathon, not run for many months, start to train during summer heat and travel..basically pulling teeth to go and do long runs..not sure how on earth I was ever going to do this. Then suddenly hitting 17, 19, 22 mile runs “alone” and an outpouring of support starting to flow in from people in my corner while a new discipline was forming in me (and dare I say joy being found) while locking in to achieve something I never thought possible.

This time last year, I ran my final 2 races to qualify (one being a half) with a back injury that wouldn’t allow me to bend over at all, let alone pick up anything of weight or run. I ran them taped up and with adhesive hot hands on my shorts for my back.

Tomorrow, a year later and 2 years exactly since this whole endeavor became a thought, I’m running the New York City Marathon! It still doesn’t feel real to say. I can’t believe it’s here and happening.

Being completely moved by the runners and by the compassion and energy it brings out in the city every year is what inspired this. The biggest block party in the world! To be on the other side of it now feels like a surreal dream.

I can’t wait to be out there and get to share in such an incredible day! For all of those cheering along the way, I love you and thank you for being out there! And to all of my friends and family tracking from afar with the worlds kindest messages, it means so much to me!!

To track and get updates when I start and finish, download the NYRR app and search my number (61461) to save or my full name!

I still wouldn’t say that I’m a “runner” but we’ve come SO far and I never would have made it without all the love along the way. Carrying that with me tomorrow! Here we go, New York!❤️|| 11.1.25

February ‘25- 📍Albany, NY
The coziest most dreamy little birthday love weekend in a real life snow globe. It doesn’t get simpler or more perfect (especially with pasta and the USA Canada Four Nations Game included).

Having friends in multiple places will forever one of the greatest blessings🤍❄️🐾|| 7.14.25

February ‘25- Baby’s first cold plunge (and managed to stay in for 5 min??😅), along with the most magical birthday day a girl could have ever asked for!

Cookies with wonderful friends, a massage, cold plunge and sauna @modernhaussoho , dancing, wine and treats, a facial, and old fashioneds with a live band singing “Happy birthday” and cake to end the night?! The most incredible day of love that launched a pretty incredible year so far✨🤍|| 7.15.25

To a new decade and lots of celebrations along the way..she’s ready✨🥂

*and also incredibly overwhelmed by alllll of the love already today. It’s barely noon and I’ve had to fight back joyful tears a few times just bc of the kindness and love being sent my way. Thank you is an understatement! Incredibly grateful to have so many wonderful people in my corner of the world (and mean it no matter how many times I say it). I think it’s pretty safe to say I’ll be a puddle by the end of the day, but am ok with that!

Birthdays are always special, but this one just feels different even with that. It’s about to be a really magic year and new chapter ahead. I can feel it💛|| 2.12.25

How I spent the final month of my 20’s - quite the victory lap with some of the most special people in my life and some of the craziest twists and turns along the way!🔑❄️🧘🏻‍♀️

If only the Brianna of 5 years ago could see herself now. If you told her she’d be living in her own 1 1/2 bedroom apartment in Park Slope BK with her own reformer studio in her home, she would neverrr believe you. And if you told 20 year old Brianna that within 10 years she would be living some of her wildest dreams, she absolutely wouldn’t believe it’s her life. Never in a million years.

Sometimes the universe just aligns and things work out in the most incredible ways. That’s what the final month of my 20s has been and I can’t wait to see what comes next bc of it, while surrounded by the most special energy and humans! Grateful is an understatement! || 2.11.25

Did I make this on Jan. 1 while at the airport to come back to NY? Yes. Did 2025 launch to start as soon as I landed though causing this to never get shared? Yes. Are we going to pretend that it’s not Feb. and share it anyways bc it brings me joy to look back on? Also, yes😂

Life is wild, but trusting the process, curveballs and all, is a magical thing and I couldn’t be more grateful for that and all that comes along with it! Cheers to what will continue to be a wonderful year✨🥂|| 2.11.25

Just some “holidays at home” moments that never made it out of my camera roll❤️

A family night at the Blues game (the best gift I could’ve given my fam with a 7-4 win that night😍), carriage ride at Grants Farm, Garden Glow at the Botanical Gardens, gingerbread decorating, loads of laughs and love, and a New Years well spent! We couldn’t have asked for better family time together!🥰

I saved the best for last too so highly recommend scrolling to the end💃🏻|| 2.11.25

Welcome to Christmas Eve with the Biffs✨🎄🤶🏻

I sent a text to our whole family chat Christmas Eve morning that I would be bringing some games that evening..and the rest is history! If you’re ever questioning whether to bring the candy canes and string to Christmas, let this be your sign to bring the silly games! You won’t regret it, promise! The amount of tears from pure laughter, memories made, and love overflowing from everyone will be something you remember forever! I will happily take the lead on future Christmas games if it means we’ll get to share all of these smiles and laughter together. Don’t have to tell me twice!🤣❤️|| 1.1.25
