Long-Term Running Goals:

Run faster than my college times and just get out there and be competitive again!

Running Start:

The day before track started my freshman year in high school, my friend called to convince me to join. I wouldn't budge so she put her dad on the phone who finally convinced me. I started off racing the 50 meter dash. Needless to say I was very bad at it so I started practicing with the distance runners. I found out I wasn't too bad at distance running and have never looked back.

Fun Facts:

I've been running in the same type of shoes since I was a senior in high school (Saucony Kinvara).
I love anything and everything chocolate.
I've donated my hair to Locks of Love/Pantene Beautiful Lengths 5+ times.
