Growing up I played basketball, baseball, and I ran cross country and track. Unfortunately, I have not kept up with organized sports since I left high school. However, I still try to prioritize physical fitness and I still enjoy watching certain sports teams.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have tried to maintain a healthy workout routine. I like the saying that you can’t have a fully healthy mind without a healthy body. Add me on Strava on my social tab at the bottom of the page!
In general, I try to do some sort of weight training 5-6 days a week. I am currently attempting to break 225 on bench press by the end of 2024 (I think I’m there, I just need to try!), as well as push myself in all other exercises.
When the temperature is not extremely cold in New England, I try to go for runs to get back to my peak shape in high school. My best 5k time is 19’05” and my best mile time is 4’53”. I do not imagine myself breaking my mile time anytime soon, but long term my goal is to train for a 5k so that I can break my current PR. I also have a plan to run a half or full marathon at some point in my 20s.
I am a massive Penn State Football fan. What is odd is that I really did not care about the team that much when I went to school. I think that watching the team on the weekends in the fall keeps me connected to my alma mater. Outside of Penn State Football I really do not care that much about sports. I am a Boston Red Sox and a Kansas State Wildcats Football and Basketball fan because of memories with my dad growing up.
