Long-Term Running Goals:

Running Start:

I started running competitively again at age 33 (after an eleven year hiatus). The passion for running came back when I was training for the Chicago Marathon in 2018 with my younger brother. During that process I was able to address some of the underlying reasons why I stopped being competitive after college (e.g. asthma and injuries).

Fun Facts:

I play the drums
I play a lot of FIFA
I may be having an early mid-life crisis.
