    Chronic Illness & Self-Advocacy: You’re Not Difficult for Wanting Answers.

    Living with a chronic illness can be exhausting. Having to fight to be heard, explain your symptoms over and over, or convince someone that your own body is telling you something is wrong? That's a whole other job you never applied for. In this solo episode of Runnah, I’m sharing my biggest tips for advocating for yourself in the healthcare system and in everyday life, based on what I’ve learned through my own experiences navigating chronic illness. We're talking about: Know when to move on. Not every healthcare professional is the right fit for you, and you’re allowed to find someone who listens and takes your concerns seriously.Don't accept gaslighting as the price of getting care. You can be open to different perspectives without dismissing your own experiences.Be kind or neutral when you can. You don't have to turn every difficult interaction into a battle. Protect your energy, stay focused on what you need, and remember that being respectful doesn't mean being a pushover.Document everything. Keep track of symptoms, appointments, questions, test results, and conversations. Having a record can help you recognize patterns and communicate more effectively.Keep going, even when you hit a wall. One frustrating appointment doesn't have to be the end of the road.My biggest takeaway? You can advocate for yourself without being aggressive, you can be kind without accepting poor treatment, and you can move on from a provider who isn't the right fit without feeling guilty. This conversation is for anyone navigating chronic illness, trying to get answers, supporting someone with a chronic condition, or learning how to speak up for themselves in any part of life. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to ask questions. And you don't have to prove yourself to everyone.

    That's a wrap on Cape Cod Marathon Weekend 2026! From the starting line nerves to the finish-line celebrations, this weekend was a reminder of what makes the running community so special.

As the race announcer and social media manager, I got to experience the energy, the incredible volunteers, the inspiring runners, the big finishes, and all the little moments that make race weekend so much more than a finish time. We're talking race-weekend highlights, community spirit, the people who make it all happen, and why getting to be part of this event means so much to me. Whether you raced, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, or followed along online, thank you for being part of the magic. Lace up, settle in, and relive the weekend with me!

    His Spine Changed His Life, It Didn't End It.

    What do you do when your body gives you reasons to slow down, but you’re not ready to let life pass you by? In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Justin Deflumeri, a runner, endurance athlete, former boxer, and someone who has built a habit of chasing the next big challenge. We talk about his journey into running, living with spinal issues, pushing through physical limitations, and why he refuses to let his body dictate how much life he gets to experience. Justin has gone from marathons, including Boston, to ultramarathons and triathlons, continually upping the ante. At the time of the challenge we discuss, his next goal was one of his biggest yet: attempting to run approximately 220 miles across New Hampshire, from the Canadian border in Pittsburg to the Massachusetts border in Nashua, in just five days. The run was planned to raise money for the Heather Abbott Foundation, which provides custom prosthetics to people who have experienced traumatic limb loss. We also get into the reality behind an adventure like this: sleep deprivation, nutrition, terrain, the importance of a support crew, knowing when your brain is no longer making great decisions, and the mental battle that comes when a challenge stops being fun and starts being really, really hard. And then there’s Justin’s daughter, Aria, who may have delivered the most important piece of race-day advice of all: “Dad, you’re going to be fine. You do this all the time.” This conversation is about running, but it’s really about not waiting for the perfect circumstances to start living your life.
