Hey all! I’m Alex, nice to meet you. I’m currently living in Cambridge, MA, but used to live in Back Bay and miss the frequent Esplanade runs, I’ll likely be going y’all on the Monday runs to get back over there.

My current running goal is to continue to adjust to my barefoot shoes for longer and longer runs. I had a stint of bad shin splints, knee issues, tight IT band, and was even starting to develop some bone structure issues at only 24 years old. Since switching to barefoot shoes in my daily life last September, nearly all of those issues have gone away and I haven’t looked back.

I have my first triathlon, the Cranberry Trifest, this coming Sunday, and just did the Narragansett 10k about a month ago. Looking forward to continuing the cross-training. I mostly run on the Charles, but a bit more upstream near Harvard & CBC.

Here’s the all-important Strava link:

& shoutout to @Jack Donahue for introducing me to the group. Looking forward to getting to run with everyone.
