hey endorphins fam! my name is Maddy, I live in Chelsea and I just started long distance running in January - will be running my first half in just two short weeks (NYC half)! 🤸‍♂️

I played soccer my whole life (& still do - shoutout @nycsoccer and @nycfooty!), and I’ve always wanted to run a marathon - had a couple close friends run TCS 2023 and they convinced me I could do it, so I’m on the journey now. I’ve been having some weird outer knee pain each time I run (from googling looks like IT band perhaps??) so I’m hoping to take it slow and maybe run in 2025 - we’ll see! 🤞 pumped to get involved w this crew
