Most Memorable Race:

I have 2:

Boston 2018- It was my first Boston and the conditions could not have been worse. I still loved every moment of it and still got a PR. I remember laughing throughout the race at how ridiculous the weather was.

Detroit Marathon 2016- I finally got my first BQ after 3 previous failed attempts. Fourth time is a charm, right?

Running Start:

I started running marathons when my college boyfriend broke up with me. For some reason I thought it would be a good way to get back at him? Not sure exactly what I was thinking, but hey I was only 21, and I'm grateful I started because it led me to a lot of great experiences and friendships that I would not have had if I had not fallen in love with the craziness of marathoning.

Fun Facts:

I was a college cheerleader at the University of Michigan, Go Blue! (I can therefore walk on my hands)
I snap with my thumb and first finger
Oreos are milk's (and my) favorite cookie
