Long-Term Running Goals:

Be a lifelong runner by staying healthy and having fun.
See what I am capable of and chase some big goals in short and long distances.
Maybe dabble with an ultra ... but that's a big maybe and in the future!

Most Memorable Race:

It's a photo finish between the Minocqua Rump Roast 5k during the town's Beef-A-Rama event and Big Sur International Marathon. Cow costumes vs iconic coastline - impossible to choose.

Fun Facts:

I lived in Egypt for two years and spoke Arabic quite well (lost a lot in the years since).
I know a weirdly large amount of wilderness survival tips given that I live in the suburbs of Chicago, but we are an outdoorsy family and our dream is to have a cabin in Alaska.
My husband's family is from Argentina and mine is American Irish, so our three kids have names that work in Spanish and rep the Irish heritage: Daniel (Danny), Tomas (Tommy), and Lucia (Lucy).
