Dad Jogger

I’ve always known running was in my blood. My journey started with my dad. I was a soccer player back then, but some of my earliest memories of running were those short runs with him around the streets of my hometown. It wasn’t about pace, distance, or setting records—it...

So, here we are—Week 1 of my new training log! Why now? Well, with a few longer races creeping up on my calendar over the next six months, it felt like the right time to kick things up a notch. Think of this as my accountability buddy... but public!...
