Most Memorable Race:

Winning a local 10k pushing my (then) 1 year old in a stroller. (Don't worry - I had the race director's blessing!) 

Running Start:

My draw to running started when I was at cheerleading practice in 6th grade. The high school cross country team was doing a hill workout along the same field we were practicing. They looked miserable, but something about their sheer grit and determination intrigued me. I remember going home and asking what "sport" that was, because I wanted in.

Fun Facts:

  • I am obsessed with collecting running gadgets and tech but don't take any of them too seriously (I just like data). I am also a running shoe hoarder.

  • I am proficient at running uphill, backwards.

  • My high school colors were navy and white - I still feel most ready to race when I wear that color combo.
