    i’m convinced you can get good at anything if you just do it enough. exhibit a: - I sucked at math → became a cs major at harvey mudd - terrible runner my whole life → just finished an ultramarathon - too shy to call & order pizza → now I host events - too homesick as a kid

    Hot take: they should replace Central Park with a massive pool or beach...then NYC would finally have it all

    A year ago I hated running and couldn’t run a single mile. Last weekend I signed up for my first race on a whim. Today I completed the Brooklyn Half Marathon in ~2hr 15 min! First long distance run ✅🏅

    My favorite part of getting out of the city is reconnecting with nature. Spent the weekend trail running in Nevada. Absolutely beautiful.
