Hi there! Long-time lurker and first time poster. I’m Sam, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY (any south Brooklynites here?)

I competitively swam and recreationally lifted weights throughout high school and college, but after COVID I decided to take part in running! I’ve been running for a few years on and off due to chronic shin splints (rookie I know), but I’m still eager to keep up with long-distance running and hopefully finish my first marathon at the NYC Marathon in 2024. I actually just completed my 9+1 qualifications this year through the 18-miler that got cancelled this weekend 😆

If there’s anyone down to do some runs when I’m back from injury (am willing to go to Manhattan to run with others), make some franz, or just stalk each other on Strava and give the occasional kudos, hit me up!
