Welcome to 2025!
Well... The first half of 2025 anyways.
​
So far, the year has brought exceptional fun at home in Chicago as well as on the road. Throughout winter, I've had considerable amount of indoor time to help make it through the dreary (and never-ending?) January and February. Spring came late, and then brought the heat, but also provided the ability to shift outdoors. Summer is off to a great start and I only expect things to continue upwards through the back half of the year.
Winter
01
Bundled Up in Chicago
I live in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, as I have for the last 3 years. I love the balance of restaurants and shops on top of basic life amenities. It's easy to get to work and is also home to several good friends of mine.
02
Indoor Training
During the winter months, I've spent a good amount of time at my nearby gym. I am training for a triathlon (August) and two marathons (October, November). Starting training early has been good for me physically and mentally.
03
The Third Cousin Trip
My cousins and I returned to KC for a third trip. We visited the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. This trip is a great time to reconnect with family! We're looking at new locations for 2026 to shake things up!

Mustache Micah
Yes, I got a mustache.

Reviews have been mixed.

Running
The Chicago Half Marathon was my first real organized race. I didn't know what to expect, but ended up very happy with my time of 1:34. In addition, my work participates in a ~5k with other Chicago companies and I've led our team 3 years in a row!
06
Tennis
I've picked up tennis over the last few summers. Some friends and I play every weekend at a nearby court. Luckily, we have a morning slot so we can wrap up before the heat. We'll often check out the Lincoln Park Farmers Market afterwards!
07
Montreal + Quebec City
I took a trip up to Canada in June. I explored new cities, saw an F1 race, learned much about Quebecois history, and even practiced a little French. C'est fantastique!
