On November 22, the Philadelphia Marathon will attract more than 35,000 participants from all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and over 40 countries worldwide. I couldn't be more excited to make this my second (and hopefully faster) 26.2 race.

This morning arrived with a hush of truth — the air was crisp, the surface of the lake trembling with light. Each breath is a hymn to solitude, each leaf a prayer whispered to the wind. In the silence of the woods, I remember that to walk alone is to walk with everything.

Rest but never quit. Even the sun has a sinking spell each evening. But it always rises the next morning. At sunrise, every soul is born again. — Muhammad Ali

Sunrise at The National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas, a stunningly beautiful tribute to the members of our armed forces who risked their lives above and beyond the call of duty. As of February 2025, 3,547 Medals of Honor have been awarded.

On mornings like this—fog thick as prayer, rain soft as hymn—the forest becomes my cathedral. No walls but trees, no roof but cloud, no sermon but the whisper of wind.

Hold the door. Offer a smile. Say hello. Listen carefully. These simple acts ripple outward in ways we’ll never fully see. In a world that can feel dark to many, your tiny act of kindness might be the light someone needs to carry on.

Saw Jaws last night, a movie made in 1975, in a theater that was built in 1920. It was amazing to see the film on the big screen! #

Climbing into the mountains without a map or a clock, I found that the road itself was the destination. Each bend revealed a new light, a new sky, and a new silence. The journey, aimless and free, became the purest prayer—where every mile was a hymn and every peak a cathedral.

Sometimes, the real climb isn’t up the rock. It’s through the fear. youtu.be/VSvwFVhhOXA
