Long-Term Running Goals:

To first and foremost, to keep the love of running going. Also, it’d be great to get another marathon PR if life allows.

Running Start:

I would run with my mom around the neighborhood when I was pretty young. She ran track (800m) in high school, and I went on to do the same. Running is always been something my mom and I have shared.

I loved running from the beginning, evidenced by some of my earliest race experiences, in which I convinced my parents to let me run a 5k at 8(ish) years old. Then, I took it upon myself to ‘train’ for the 1 mile run fitness test in gym class by running lots of teeny tiny laps around my backyard. My love of running continued for many (many) years until today.

Fun Facts:

I always brush my teeth before races
I studied abroad in Cape Town, South Africa
I love trashy reality TV

Track or Trails?:

I cannot possibly make this decision. I have a special place in my heart for both

Morning or Afternoon?:

Morning

Solo or With Friends?:

In order to be a happy camper/runner, I need a bit of both

Summer or Winter?:

Summer
