It was the summer of 2017, she had just graduated from Indiana University and was working as a Certified Athletic Trainer for Athletico Physical Therapy. He was starting graduate school, marathon training and working as a rehab aide at Athletico Physical Therapy. Fast forward to the morning of October 8th. He was at the starting line with big goals in mind, she was trying to hydrate from the long night before. Each of them had different ideas for what the finish line meant but neither could predict what was to come. He finished the marathon falling short of his goal. Knowing there was work at 7am the next day, he decided a post race stretch could help the situation. He headed to the Athletico tent at the 27th mile post race party. As he stood next in line a couple girls came over and claimed they were in line and were next to go. Not looking for an argument he let them go ahead which created a collision course of two souls that only destiny could explain. Her table would be the one he would end up at. While she stretched him and regretted many situations she had made that day he nonchalantly talked her ear off. He left that day feeling like he missed an opportunity to learn as much as he could about this girl he felt somehow connected to. He knew few facts about her aside from what she did and where she worked. That night he got to searching and found her on Facebook. Lucky for him she recognized him and responded to his message. Within a few days the first date would be set at Pour House in Oakbrook and the rest, is history.
