Running I’ve run six marathons, my first in the fall of 2020 on a custom course through D.C. and I set my personal best of 2:59:11 in the Philadelphia Marathon in November of 2024. For my 30th birthday, I of course ran 30 miles (plus one for good luck)
Sports Ultimate frisbee and soccer (when my knees allow me)
Outdoors Hiking, backpacking, cycling, and the random afternoon picnic.
Cooking Baking sourdough creations, lattice pie crusts, and lots of vegetables
Caring for plants Some claim that I have room to grow in this area
