In the world of endurance sports, every mile, every breath, and every heartbeat counts towards achieving that elusive finish line. This journey, filled with highs and lows, mirrors another critical aspect of our lives—planning for the future. In a recent conversation with Katie Anne Trotta of Russo Law Firm, Long Island's premier destination for elder law, estate planning, and special needs law, we explored the fascinating parallels between the discipline of running and the foresight required in estate planning.

Katie Anne, an avid runner passionate about helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of estate planning, shared her insights on how the principles of endurance sports apply to preparing for life’s unpredictable nature. As she prepares for her own significant milestone—her upcoming wedding—Katie Anne reflects on the importance of setting long-term goals, both on the track and in life.
