THE SECOND HALF CAN BE STRONGER.
Chasing hard things.
Finding new limits.
Making the years ahead count.
THE BEST PART DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BEHIND YOU.
Second Half Strong is about refusing to coast through the second half of life.
It’s about finding hard things, chasing new adventures, pushing beyond what you thought you were capable of—and becoming stronger along the way.
I’m trying to live that out through ultra running, endurance challenges, and whatever comes next. This is where I’ll share what I learn along the way—the successes, failures, experiments, lessons, and everything in between.
THIS IS MY SECOND HALF
Not a comeback. Not a midlife crisis. A decision to find out what I’m still capable of.
WHAT’S NEXT
Two races. Two distances I’ve never finished. One goal: keep finding out what I’m capable of.

WHAT DOES SECOND HALF STRONG MEAN?
You can’t be over the hill as long as you KEEP CLIMBING
CHALLENGE YOURSELF
Do hard things. Chase goals that make you uncomfortable.
Keep growing
There’s always another level to discover. Keep learning, adapting, and moving forward.

The goal isn’t to fight getting older. It’s to make the years ahead count.
WHY I’M DOING THIS
I’m not chasing races because I think running is the answer.
I’m chasing hard things because I want to see what happens when I stop putting limits on what the second half of my life can look like.
Right now, that means ultramarathons. Someday, it might mean something completely different.
The goal is simple: Keep becoming someone I’m proud of.
THE SECOND HALF STARTS NOW
I don’t know exactly where this goes. That’s kind of the point. Follow along.
