69:58.
You don’t ever run your lifetime PR thinking that’s the fastest you’ll ever be. From November of 2018 - March of 2019 I ran PRs in the Marathon (2:31:19), 5k (15:23), and Half (1:11:16), feeling that I was on the cusp of bigger breakthroughs. I’ve come close in some cases and no where near in others. The belief never truly wavered, I measured success in other places and through other distances, but as the years passed that little thought festered: maybe those PRs would remain lifetime bests. Maybe the goalposts should shift. Maybe my arrow of improvement had shifted its trajectory.
7 years later. 69:58. 1 minute and 18 seconds faster than ever before. Sneaking under a barrier that means both nothing and a lot. Still believing there’s way more.
Memento Mori; but Not Dead Yet.
KTDA.

We recently sat down with filmmaker Zack McTee to talk about his latest running documentary, 3:01:56.
Tim Rossi and his father had a long-running bet. When Tim started running marathons, the question emerged: could he beat his dad's New York City Marathon time of 3:01:56 from 1982? “Thankfully I did,” Tim jokes in 3:01:56, Zack McTee's new documentary. “Otherwise I never would've heard the end of it."
But Steve Rossi passed away in 2024, and suddenly the terms of the bet changed. This time, Tim – a marathoner with a 2:31 PB – didn't want to better his father’s time.
“Don’t beat him – just try to do the exact same time. That would be crazy. To literally run in his footsteps.” - Zack McTee’s advice for Tim

With no excuses and nothing held back.
Went to Chicago with the goal of emptying the tank. Had an idea of where I thought I was at, went through the half in 1:16:10, and kept pushing further and further into the deep end (hoping against logic that the body might rally) before the wheels came off. From there I tried to let the chi running community carry me. Some painful moments for sure, absolutely knackered, we made it.
Nothing but love for this city, this community, and those in my corner (shout to my coach, fiancé, friends, family).
2:38:37.
Back in the game. Keep the dream alive.
