A marathon is just a half marathon with a 10k warmup and cooldown.

When I moved to Blacksburg in the fall of 2024 to start my PhD, I was excited, nervous, and completely unsure of what the next few years would look like. But not long after I arrived, I started running — at first, just to explore the beautiful hills and parks in my neighbourhood and to stay fit. I didn’t expect to fall in love with it, or with this town.

Blacksburg has a way of pulling you in with its quiet charm, winding trails, and breathtaking views. Running became more than just a way to stay active, it became my way of connecting with this new place and staying locked in. I am quite fortunate and grateful to have found an amazing group of people who share my love for running. I’m still a beginner, both in running and in my PhD journey, but with each mile and each semester, I’m hoping to get a little stronger, a little faster, and a little more at home.

I hope to track my running progress by keeping track of some of the milestones in my running journey.

  • November 2024 – Went on my first run (0.6 miles)
  • December 2024 – Ran my first 5K
  • February 2025 - Ran my first 10k

This blog is a little corner where I’ll be sharing some of those observations and experiences from my travels, whenever and wherever they happen.

Here is an interactive map of some of the cities I’ve visited including conferences, internships and vacations.
