I’ve been getting asked a lot lately what I’m doing for my birthday…
This.
Last October, after finishing my last ultra, I made a promise to myself: the next one would be before my birthday.
The timing didn’t exactly go to plan. The past three months have been rough—injured, dealing with a knee that just wouldn’t cooperate. There was a point where I had to slow down, reset, and decide how I wanted to show up.
A month ago, I made that decision.
Take my time. Trust the process. And run it on my birthday no matter the consequences
A few days ago, I came across something that stuck with me:
“It’s not about the running, it’s about who you become through the suffering.”
That’s it.
This isn’t just another run. It’s about pushing through, proving something to myself, and stepping into the next year stronger than I was before.
New year. New mindset. Same mission—finish what I started.
