The race provides the challenge, but the dedication of the photographers, runners and crew is what makes the experience truly remarkable.

RACE THE PERIMETER: 30.8mi, 6:36:52
A week ago I ran a 50k.
One of my problems is I don’t naturally celebrate accomplishment. The moment a project or goal is within reach, I start working on the next one before the first is done. That means my time for celebration is dominated by planning what’s next.
17 miles into Race the Perimeter (NYC) I knew I was going to finish. I still had hours to go, but I knew I could do it. So a little while later, when I passed chalk that said “Half Way” at mile 25, I was already working out how I could leverage that moment to make my 50 miler in December more successful.
But I’m going to take this moment to celebrate.
What this represented: many months of my marathon training program plus three more weeks at the end with longer back-to-backs. I dialed fueling, alternating gels and Snickers, and figured out my hydration - which took months. And figured out how to manage, and sometimes work with, my obsessions and rumination before and during long runs.
I thought I would run 12:30 miles and stop a bunch (buying water and Snickers every hour), meaning I’d be lucky to complete the loop of Manhattan in 7 hours. But it became clear around mile 20 that I was going to smash that.
Official time was 6:36:52, coming in 36th place out of 88 solo runners. (I also beat 14 teams which is crazy!)
All goals accomplished.
In July 2023 I couldn’t run more than 2 or 3 blocks without being fully winded. But here we are.
And, now… onward.
Next up: PPTC Endurance Fest. 50 miles.
They award a buckle. 👀

Prior to this, I only ran 13 miles tops. But what seems impossible, God makes possible. 33 miles was possible
“But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””-Matthew‬ ‭19‬:‭26‬ ‭
So… “Start spreading the news!”

there aren’t enough words or photos to describe the joy I feel from each and every race the perimeter weekend I get to host 🤍

many thank you’s are in store - the team at @lululemon for helping me power race the perimeter, my incredible media team for capturing it all, my family group for literally doing it all and being my anxiety sounding board, the @alleykat.racing team for creating an unsanctioned relay tracking system, my mom for coming out and back to watch me, and of course everyone who decided to race the perimeter and make this day so special!

more recap to come, but here’s to year 3 as a race director and race number 6, see you for DC 2027 next 🌟👀 @racetheperimeter
