Long-Term Running Goals:

Continue to make running a rewarding/enjoyable part of my life and to keep chipping away at those PR’s

Running Start:

I’ve always been a runner. I grew up playing soccer and ran cross-country in high school. It wasn’t until 2021 that I got back into competitive running. I joined a run club during Covid just for the social outlet, but was soon signed up for my first marathon (Chicago 2021). I’ve been hooked ever since.

Fun Facts:

In junior high I participated in the high jump and long jump because I was intimidated by the running events
I played collegiate soccer
I have an adorable Australian Shepherd, Ripley!
