Finishing stretch at the Berlin HM 2024

Following the Berlin Marathon 2023, I pretty much immediately got COVID. I suppose it makes sense - the marathon draws nearly 50,000 runners - and such an effort is a huge blow to the body's immune system as all its facilities are employed to propel the body forward. After taking a month to recover fully, I jumped back in just a little too quickly and started having issues with my Achilles tendon. :/ The discomfort prevented me from running for the remainder of 2023 and only as recently as January 2024 was I able to resume running pain-free. I am immensely grateful to be in motion again and I wanted to share with you a couple of images from the Berlin Half Marathon 2024... It was an uncharacteristically warm day and a bit humid but overall a beautiful run. I finished just under a minute slower than my goal time of 1:19. There's no cheating the training. The 3 weeks leading up to the race did not contain mile volume I would have hoped but things were so busy work-wise that training had to be deprioritized. Onward and upward.

Ready for takeoff

Berlin Half Marathon April 7, 2024

Thank you to everyone who has donated! I am moved by the amount of support and generosity you've all shown towards me and also toward autism research. I have every intention of reaching out to each of you personally to express my gratitude.
