Favorite Motivational Quote
“If I can still be standing on my feet, you know what, then life isn’t so bad. And if you can say symbolically at the very end of our lives, we were never humbled, we were knocked down, but we got up. I can say I lived life with integrity. I took all the blows and I still prevailed, I think that’s a good epitaph for anyone." - Sylvester Stallone
Favorite Running Memory
Training for the 2020 Olympic Marathon Trials alongside Aliphine and Kellyn and embracing post-race after Ali won, I took 6th and Kellyn took 8th. That was a day!
