Long-Term Running Goals:

1. Compete and PR in all distances from the mile to the marathon distance

2. Break 5 mins in the mile

3. Break 3 hrs in all world major marathons (2 down 4 to go)!

Running Role Model:

Eliud Kipchoge. The one and only marathon G.O.A.T. once said "[o]nly the disciplined ones are free in life." What more can I say?

Fun Facts:

  • I thought it was normal to run four marathons in a year.

  • Boston Marathon was cancelled for the first time in 124 years the year I finally gained entry.

  • I was quite good at bowling and thought about playing competitively in college--spoiler alert: it didn't happen.
