Hi there! I’m a fellow freelancer who stumbled upon your site while investigating examples for inspiration for my own site. I just wanted to say that your websites are awesome and your story is so inspiring. Congrats on the marathon. So glad you stepped back from the moment and realized how absolutely amazing it is that you’ve come from 262 lbs to another 26.2K! Not to mention the accomplishments in two different martial arts. SO anyway, thanks, just wanted to let you know I found both the site AND the content inspiring

Aww, thanks, Kim! Appreciate it!

You should totally do it! No matter how much I struggled that day, I would run NYCM again in a heartbeat. It’s a tough course, but there was NOTHING like those crowds…it was unbelievable!

Thanks, Danielle! That is for damn sure! I know a lot of my struggles were mental, and I know that sometimes, no matter how much you train/prepare…it doesn’t always go your way. I learned a lot of hard lessons on the course that day, and now I know what I need to work on for next time.

Yep, I hear ya! The course itself was a lot more challenging than I imagined. I seriously would have lowered my expectations right from the beginning had I known, haha. But, in a way, it made the finish that much sweeter.

Aw, thanks! At the end of the day…I’m all about the pictures.
