Long-Term Running Goals:

#1: Run until I'm old then keep going. #2: Make the Marathon Olympic Trials. #3: Be content with any of my race times. #4: Bonk in a marathon or long run just to experience it.

Most Memorable Run:

I went on vacation to Germany with my parents when I was sixteen, and we stayed in a small walled city called Nördlingen for a few days. On the morning we were leaving, I got up at around 5:30 for a long run so we could catch an early train. It was foggy, a little chilly, and there were no cars on the road. I would alternate between looking at houses and enjoying solitude as tiny villages, just clumps of a few homes, were scattered every couple miles with nothing in between. I've gotten that magical feeling many times while running, but I don't know if I'll ever top that experience.

Fun Facts:

I'm an only child but have thirty first cousins.
I've driven from Seattle to Los Angeles and from Seattle to Chicago.
I've loved watches since I was fourteen, and I just moved close to Mag Mile, so I'm pretty much living the dream now.
