My name is Joe and about 5 years ago, I discovered running. I had gotten up to 300 lbs, and a global pandemic had just begun. So, to get out of the house, I started running. It quickly became a passion of mine. I lost 100 lbs and have since taken part in over 50 races. Over the last 12 months, I have also completed 2 half marathons. Now, I set my sights on running a marathon by my 40th birthday.

I am pursuing a goal of going to Iceland and running said marathon. I would love your support! Also, feel free to follow my IG cupofjoe_and_jog for all my running highlights and progress. To read up on the marathon itself go here: https://www.rmi.is/en/
