Well, after spending the last decade deep in the sports science and ultrarunning trenches, it's time for a change in focus. I'm excited for this new chapter of my life, one where I'll be a journalist first, athlete (a distant) second. I know many people go through life not really sure what they want to do with their time, never finding meaningful work that excites them. I'm lucky to have managed to get a foothold in this freelance writing world, now we'll see if I can make a decent living at it.

I will say, out of all my careers thus far—software test engineer, professional runner, endurance coach—freelance magazine writing is hands down the hardest... and I wouldn't have it any other way. Onward!
