Most Memorable Run:

A long tempo at WFG during my first year with DWR. Coach gave me a pace I really wasn't sure I could keep and put me in a faster group than I had run with before. Right before we started, and without me voicing my uncertainty, he simply told me I could do it. I kept that in mind for the whole run and had by far the best tempo of my life to that date. Since then I've always run with that group and continued to do things I once thought impossible.

Fun Facts:

  • I love playing basketball

  • I have a Master of Science degree from MIT

  • I like karaoke but am a terrible singer.
