Hi! I'm Joe.

I love running and enjoy building things online so this is my space to combine 🏃‍♂️ ➕ 💻. I use this blog as a journal to help me process my running so it's pretty raw and unbeautiful.

After qualifying in 2020 for the US Olympic Marathon Trials (2:17:15) I was training to qualify again for the 2024 trials (sub 2:18), but fell short after three attempts. Along the way I represented an awesome organization called Operation Underground Railroad in their fight to end slavery! If you'd like to support me in this goal checkout the link below!

I've also recently launched LelliWeather which is quick way to have weather details added to every outdoor Strava activity that you upload. Free for 90 days. Check it out!

Oh and about the stats card on the home page. I started uploading runs to Strava in 2014 after I graduated from college. So the total miles numberdoes not include anything from my time as a runner in highschool or college where I was a division ✌ XC and track runner. And I like it that way. I want to show people that awesome fitness can carry on long after school, a job, marriage, and possibly even 4 kids!
