Tennis, half marathon runner, and hiking.

I enjoy playing tennis in my leisure time. Before Covid, I used to sign up for 5k races and half marathons. I'm trying to get back into marathon training. I'm also a member of Orange Theory Fitness (OTF). I find going to the gym helps me reduce stress and gain clarity. While I used to love hiking, it's not as appealing to me anymore. However, I still enjoy watching nature and scenery.
