As I stood at the starting line, my heart beating like a syncopated drumline against my chest, the memories—a DNF during the 2022 NYC Marathon—weighed heavily; it was a stark ending to a dream nurtured through countless predawn runs in the silent symphony of NYC's earliest hours.
Tremendous achievement to go sub-3 in New York, even if it was past your expectations. And a very well-written reflection. On to that new dream to chase...
