Most Memorable Race:

My most memorable race was a 5k on my birthday. My running partner and a bunch of my non-running friends all registered and ran this race with me. The weather was perfect and the crowd support was amazing. I was patient at the beginning of the race and then really tightened the screws at the halfway mark. At that point, there was only one person in front of me. I slowly caught up to him, passed him and won the race. Now I have a hilarious first-place-winner's coffee mug to drink out of!

Running Start:

I started to competitively run after college. During college, I ran a couple of 5k's, and, after the second, vowed to never run that far again in my life. So much for that.

Fun Facts:

I have biked from Chicago to Milwaukee in one day and back the next day, three different times.
I have officiated two weddings.
I hiked the Salcantay and Inca Trails to Machu Picchu.
