Neek with the Kirkies Pacers

Today, we celebrate a woman whose determination inspires all of us.

Despite having no sports background, you took on challenges that many would never dare attempt. Through hard work, discipline, and sheer grit, you went from being a beginner to conquering a 21 kilometer race, a testament to your strength and commitment.

What inspires us even more is your resilience. Injuries may have slowed you down, but they never stopped you. Time and time again, you've faced setbacks, recovered, and come back stronger. You embody what it means to never give up.

Beyond your achievements in running, you continue to balance the demands of being an OB-GYN, caring for your family, and making time for training. Somehow, you still manage to be the team's elder sister, supporter, motivator, and even our resident outfit and shoe trendsetter.

Thank you for showing us that progress isn't about where you start—it's about having the courage to keep going. Your perseverance, positivity, and fighting spirit remind us that consistency and determination can take us farther than talent alone.

May this birthday bring you the same joy, strength, and inspiration that you give to everyone around you. We wish you good health, happiness, and many more finish lines ahead.

Happy Birthday Doc Marie Kathleen Meso! Your Team Kirkies family is proud of you and grateful to have you as part of our journey. ❤️🎉🏃‍♀️

Halfway through the year, we chose to move forward together. Last Sunday, May 24, 2026, our midyear gathering and long run brought us to Sinulom Falls And Bolao Cold Spring 🌿🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We turned the long miles into moments of connection, where effort was shared and conversations flowed as freely as the road ahead. This midyear run was a reminder that progress is not only measured by distance, but by the community we build along the way 💪

Strong steps, full hearts, and a journey made meaningful because it was done together ❤️‍🔥
