Running Role Model:

Des Linden - Love her grit and candor. She also wrote one of my favorite quotes that rings true during Chicago winters - "Some days it just flows and I feel like I’m born to do this, other days it feels like I’m trudging through hell. Every day I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better. My advice: keep showing up."

Fun Facts:

  • I grew up in South Florida. Whenever I mention that to someone they immediately follow it up by telling me one of their grandparents lives there.

  • I have two awesome kids, Sam and Amelia.

  • I still have all my wisdom teeth
