Since May last year, my life has been turned upside down. I went through two major head surgeries, lost my best friend @theizotimes unexpectedly, had an accident at home, and went through a breakup.
Through it all, two things kept me going: running and the love and strength of my friends and family.
Finishing the NYC Marathon and completing the Abbott World Marathon Majors 6 Star Challenge in one year gave me a time to reflect on everything I’d been through—how I faced it, who showed up for me, what carried me forward, and what didn’t. It also brought clarity on what I want and where I’m headed.

To anyone facing their own challenges: hold tight to what gives you strength, and to the people who feel like home. Those connections and that inner drive can carry you through anything. ❤️🙏 taken in TCS New York City Marathon by @ido8all

Last week, Izo (@theizotimes )decided to leave me without any notice, right in my arms as we were traveling.

Izo was born in a small city in Israel, and at 2 years old, he moved with me to London. Four years later, we made our way to NYC. We were the unbreakable Ido and Izo until it happened last week.

He was my rock, my home away from home, my best friend, the one that loved me unconditionally (and I loved him back the same), and, of course, the best travel partner.
We lived on three continents, explored nine countries, and visited 21 states.

We shared so many moments and memories together and with the rest of the world.
He was one of the first social media influencer dogs, achieving some fun and interesting milestones, from being featured on one of Piccadilly Circus’s big screens to meeting legendary celebrities, and even getting a shoutout on @instagram ‘s official account, including making it to their yearly pet calendar.

Words can’t describe the sharp pain and deep sadness I’m experiencing. I’ve lost friends and family members before, but this time it hits differently. It feels like my heart was taken away from me, and I can’t bring it back.

I hope that we will meet again because we were perfect for each other, and the thought of him being without me breaks my heart even more.
I pray that he’s in peace and not experiencing any pain or sadness, and I’m thankful for all the love he gave me in the last 13.5 years.
Rest in peace, my Izo (hijo).
I will love you forever. taken in New York, New York by @ido8all

Today I turn 44.

I’m living in New York City, something I’ve wanted since I was a teenager.

It took a minute, but I got here.

I laughed a lot and cried a bit.

Crossed finish lines I never thought I’d see.

Built friendships that feel like family.

Said goodbye to people I loved.

Picked myself back up more than once and kept moving.

I’m grateful for what I have and I say it (almost) every day.

There are still a few things I’m hoping life has in store for me.

Love, family, more…

And more…

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned,

it’s to trust life a little.

I’ll get there.

@capetownmarathon , what a special one.

Just one month after @bostonmarathon , I came into this race feeling fitter, healthier and stronger than I’ve ever felt before. Honestly, this was probably the best training cycle I’ve ever had, and a huge thank you goes to my coach Tom @runcoachsays for believing in me, pushing me and preparing me so well for this race.

Cape Town is not an easy course. The rolling hills keep you honest the entire way. But between the magical scenery, the energy from the crowds and the beauty of running through this city, it’s impossible not to fall in love with this marathon.

Another sub 3 marathon in the books, and another reminder of why I love this sport so much. The marathon will humble you, test you and challenge you, but it will also give you moments, memories and connections you never forget.

And honestly? Cape Town deserves to become a World Marathon Major @wmmajors . It’s that beautiful.

Now time to recover a little… and then onto the next one. 🌍🏃🏻

My goal for the @bostonmarathon was a 1:31 / 1:29 negative split. The day started with our bus getting lost and arriving late to the start, but I had a goal and I wasn’t letting that mess with me. I really held back early on, not easy with all those downhills, but I knew I had to trust the plan… and it worked (watch the video to see how I did).

Now I know what it feels like to finish strong and run smart. So grateful to be able to do this.
Huge thanks to my coach Tom @runcoachsays for believing in me and giving me the confidence I needed.

Didn’t follow the plan exactly, but I got the negative split and I’m really happy about it.
Next stop: @capetownmarathon 💙 But first… burger 🍔🫣 taken in Boston, Massachusetts by @ido8all

If 2024 was the year I recovered from heartbreak, losing Izo and the breakup, then 2025 was the year I found myself again.

Having a lot of me time, a lot of fun moments with friends and family. Did the things that actually bring me joy which means a lot of traveling, exploring new places and of course food.

Choosing my happiness again, instead of living in grief and recovery mode, was the best decision I made for myself.

So yeah.
14 countries in 2025, and I honestly lost count of the states.

Going into the new year doing more of what I love.
Trips already booked for the first quarter (Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico…).

And hopefully, opening my heart to love again.

I’m ready. taken in Palermo Soho by @ido8all

I ran the @sydney_marathon , my 7th star in the World Marathon Majors (@wmmajors ).
Coming into it, I had very low expectations.
My training didn’t go as planned with illness and an injury… and the doubts and questions I had at the start of this race are ones I think every marathon runner can relate to.

But I did it. My way.
And if you want to know my time, you’ll have to watch until the end.

Huge shoutout to my friends @leftwichjeff1989 and @bruna.amaral09 who came all the way from NYC to cheer me and push me to the finish line and capturing it.
And last thanks to coach Tom for his constant support and direction. @runcoachsays

It’s my birthday today.

This year reminded me how unpredictable life can be.
It started in Brazil, one of my favorite places.
I got robbed, but kept going. I traveled through Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Israel, Iceland, and France. Then came summer in NYC.

But life shifted.
A war escalated and broke out in my homeland and I couldn’t sleep, worrying about my family and friends.
A friend was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Work wins came with their own storms, so I didn’t even get to celebrate that.

It’s been a reminder of how fragile everything is.
How quickly things can flip. And how we have to keep going, even when life looks different than we imagined.

So today, I’m holding on to what matters.
Keep dreaming. Stay present. Let go of what no longer serves you. And I’m so thankful for everything and everyone I have in my life.
The past brought us here, but it’s the now and what’s ahead that will carry us through.

Sending love, strength, and joy to everyone who needs it.
And a special birthday wish and prayers to two friends who know they know.

Chanukah might be over, but is it ever a bad idea to run and eat donuts?

We got @ido8all , a top 10% Google food reviewer and top 1% on @tripadvisor -oh, he’s also a 2 X @wmmajors finisher, to join us for the expedition

~DISCLAIMER: The opinions are ours, and ours alone and specifically on the donuts. We didn’t review any other items~

We ran through the 5towns and stopped by some of the most popular donut spots. We started with Allan’s Bakery, moved on to @momspastries , @myunclemochi and then @cafechocolatny where we were met with a monster line….but worry not, we got to try the famous kronuts at the end of the video. We then hit up @berrylicious5t where you can find @sesame donuts through Chanukah

As my boy @herm.runs always says, 🍩🍩 are the best fuel ;)

Cheers to a great week of running friends
