Most Memorable Race:

NYC Marathon 2014. It was the first time I had ever broken 3 hours in the marathon, but also was an INSANE head wind the entire way (signs were blowing off the bridges!). It's not my PR, but definitely my favorite race so far. Did I throw up at the finish line? Yes. Did I have a smile ear to ear? Also yes.

Running Role Model:

Lauren Fleshman. I've always admired her transparency with regards to her relationship to running, specifically after having children. She uses her platform to improve the women's running community and isn't afraid to be vulnerable. I just love her!

Fun Facts:

  • Thrift shopping is my absolute favorite hobby.

  • I was an Irish dancer and credit it for my ability (?) to hurdle.

  • I am a true crime junkie. Everything I consume (books, podcasts, movies) is DARK. Keeps me alert on my 5am solo runs.

Long-Term Running Goals:

To see how fast this 40+ year-old body can go while bringing awareness to Fragile X Syndrome.

Running Start:

Running has always been my fallback exercise for mental and physical health. It was the only form of exercise I was coordinated enough to do:)  I was inspired to run my first marathon three years ago by a kind stranger. I winged it, and I was hooked.  I'm now on a mission to prove you're never too old to chase big goals.

Fun Facts:

  • I volunteer at a charity called Special Spaces where I design dream bedroom makeovers for children battling cancer.

  • I love to cook, and I spend a lot of time creating in the kitchen.

  • I ran my first marathon at 40.

Track or Trails?:

Trails

Morning or Afternoon?:

Solo or With Friends?:

A balance of both

Summer or Winter?:
