My Running Story

How Running Became My Cross-Country Adventure

Like many people, I took up running during the pandemic as a way to break free from the indoors and stay active. What started as a simple way to get some fresh air quickly turned into an adventure, as I began exploring new neighborhoods and seeing parts of the country I’d never experienced before. Running became my ticket to discovering the diversity and beauty of different communities along my cross-country journey.

In 2022, I decided to challenge myself with a big goal: logging 1,000 miles in a single year. Spoiler alert - I did it! That accomplishment only fueled my passion further, and as 2023 rolled around, I set my sights even higher: running a marathon.

This project is a celebration of every mile I've logged since lacing up my running shoes for the first time. Curious to see the full journey? Click the link above to check it out!
