Long-Term Running Goals:

My number 1 long term running goal is to be able to continue to run and remain competitive not only as a masters runner but in general.

Running Start:

I started running in 7th grade and thought I was a sprinter running the 100 and 200 meters. I eventually graduated to the 400 and then the 800 in high school but never ran longer than the 1500 through college (except for cross country) thus I've always really considered myself a middle distance runner (after that initial stint as a sprinter!).

Fun Facts:

I have an irrational fear of bridges and mice.
While I am not very good at it, I love gardening.
There's a park named after my parents in Orland Park.
