Happy to say I can close the books on 2018. It was my best year to date athletically and my toughest year mentally. Both of which I am beyond grateful for. I began the year with a win at 50km Nationals in my hometown and followed it with wins from the mile to 20k. To cap it off I broke the oldest record on the books in USA Track and Field, the rarely contested Indoor 10000m. While it may not seem like much, I like to believe my technique did the record justice and that is what I'm most proud of this weekend. Sport changes over the years and my event is very different from the 70s, so remembering the context of when the record was set is important.
I cannot express enough how thankful I am for everyon...
