SHANK GYM
Welcome to Shank Gym — not a business, just the space where I keep the record of a life built around movement. I’ve spent decades training, racing, and learning what endurance really means — not as glory, but as persistence. I’m not the fastest, and I’m not trying to be. What matters is showing up, doing the work, and finding out what’s left when the noise fades. This site is where I keep those stories — the races, the lessons, and the small victories that still matter.
