This one was just for us. 🖤
I’ve done 6 races in 14 days and Zoe ran Berlin marathon 13 days ago.

Testing what you’re made of with one of your best friends is an unmatched life experience. I was so inspired out there by the way @zoeverkerke kept fighting when we both were hurting bad. When things slipped, we kept the vibes high and reminded ourselves we’ve got each other’s back. That means more to me than any win, PB or podium.

@gabe_encarnacion thank you for capturing this special hour of our lives

@mike.fecik I can’t wait for this fitness to show up in a big way

For the real ones on this app that know me KNOW me, I took a route as an adolescent/young adult that was not necessarily the safest, healthiest, or best. I made a lot of mistakes and got myself in a lot of bad situations. (Nah I don’t talk about it but -Jail, court, arrests, drugs, to name a few) One thing that was always constant and unconditional was my family. I had 4 siblings who were all high achievers academically and athletically. My dad inspired all of us as a runner, multiple time Boston qualifier, running wasn’t an option as a kid. My sister Erin was especially elite AF as an endurance athlete (marathons/full ironmans) there was nothing she couldn’t do, and it wasn’t average, it was at a high level. Her mental toughness was sick- I wanted it. I looked up to her and she would always invite me to her races. I would go and watch, it would make me emotional to watch her at a finish line because I knew what she put into her training. She would kill herself in training blocks. By the time I was 16, between her and my dad I was inspired to start racing with her. She would absolutely kill me on runs and laugh/call me a pussy when I couldn’t hang. When I tell you, at age 16 I wanted to be just like her but I had no idea how I would make it possible. Between her and my dad, they inspired me to believe in myself. Here we are, almost 20 years later, after her peaks, in my peak, getting to do this together. It just means so much to me😭. Thank you E for being my role model. God knows who I’d be without you and dad. 1 week out today from Berlin. Dare I say endurance sports and running saved my life?

First marathon before I graduated highschool with my dad and siblings
