I picked up running in 2019 when I was living in New York City.
Situated a few blocks away from Central Park, I caught a glimpse of some Sunday morning NYRR races and decided to join in.
Currently working my way through the World Marathon Majors:
- New York City Marathon
- Tokyo Marathon
- London Marathon
- Berlin Marathon
- Chicago Marathon
- Boston Marathon
BTW, if you’re in NYC and want to run with a great group, try out a run with Great Hill Track Club.
See you out there ✌️🏃
