Hey everyone! I'm Brandon, a 21-year-old from South Jersey currently studying at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. I just ran my first half marathon (the B&A Trail Half Marathon), and now I am training for the Philadelphia Marathon (which happens to fall on my birthday)! Along the way, I've done a couple of 5Ks, a couple of 10Ks, and even an unofficial 15-miler (besides the half marathon, of course). Running around DC, especially DuPont Circle, is my favorite—I mean, who can resist the beauty of this city, right? While I'm home for the summer, I'm all about pushing myself out of my comfort zone and making some new connections. Can't wait to hit the pavement with you all!
