After 6 days of hiking, Gerard, Rich, and I finally reached Machu PIcchu through the Salkantay Trek. Except for the first day, it rained every day. We even encountered a small snowstorm while approaching the Salkantay Pass. More pictures from the hike coming up very soon.

Run my first marathon on Sunday at @runsurfcityusa Run my first marathon on Sunday at @runsurfcityusa and got my goal time of 3:08 which qualifies me to run the Boston Marathon next year. My dream is to run all 6 of the World Marathon Majors, and Boston will be the first one on that list.
So happy to have found running which allows me to be competitive again after my bad knees forced me to stop playing football/soccer.
I dedicated this race to my friend @elvisalexander_ who is battling it out in the hospital. I hope he makes a full recovery soon.
