Hey y’all! I’m Jon from Washington Township in South Jersey! I started running again after college when COVID hit and has become a huge part of my daily life. What was once a few miles a week to lose weight is now a self made schedule to stay sane and healthy. All part of a 2300 mile year, I ran my first marathon in Disney last year and followed it by running 2:56 in Philly in November. I continue to find ways to push my PRs and my body as I prepare to run the Jersey City Marathon in an attempt to qualify for Boston.
When I'm not on the road or the trail, I'm in the classroom as a full time elementary music teacher. My band, JEM and the Vibe, keeps me busy as a writer and performer in the tri-state area. When in Philly though, we run!
