2026 Brooklyn Half Marathon

I did it! This was my first half marathon since December of 2018.  8 years ago!!!!  A LOT of life happened since then and as much as I would like to say I’m the same person, in a lot of ways, I am not. But a runner?  That’s still me.  Not quite as fast but

Welcome back
