About Me

Hello & welcome to my blog! I’m an avid runner and also a patient living with a rare metabolic disorder called Homocystinuria (HCU). I originally started this blog almost a decade ago to share with you my journey to the 2014 Boston Marathon and beyond. Flash forward to 2022, and I’ve decided to renew & revamp this blog as I prepare to tackle the Chicago Marathon this fall. I plan to share more content about my experience training for marathons while adhering to a (medically prescribed) highly restrictive low protein diet supplemented with metabolic formula. Please be patient as I navigate this new format. I hope you’ll find my site to be informative and inspiring.

My complete full-marathon timeline:

  • Philadelphia Marathon (2011)
  • Boston Marathon (2012)
