Long-Term Running Goals:

Running a 2:30 marathon!

Most Memorable Race:

My most memorable race was my first BQ because it was totally unexpected. I went into the race with no cares and ended up running one of my best races. I still wonder if the McDonalds I had the day before was the secret ingredient to a great race.

Fun Facts:

  • I have a 2 year old named Sadie and another daughter due in March.

  • I’ve guided two blind runners through marathons.

  • My favorite band is Blink 182!
