Long-Term Running Goals:

Win some races, set personal bests at every distance, run a marathon OTQ, and eventually get into trail racing

Most Memorable Run & Race:

Every destination race is memorable in its own way, especially when traveling with friends. The ones that really stand out are the international trips for beer mile world championships to London, Vancouver, and Berlin because of the new friends met from around the world and exploring new places I otherwise might not have traveled to myself.

The most memorable run for me is rim-to-rim-to-rim of the Grand Canyon I did with a few friends in May 2019. Running for almost 12 hours in 100 degree heat was the toughest thing I've done physically, but it was a blast the entire way because of the scenery and good company. I also ended up sleeping in the Grand Canyon that night just 4 miles from the finish because a friend was suffering from extreme hydration and couldn't quite make it without a break. That meant getting to experience the sunset and vivid stars from within the canyon and made for a great story after.
