Long-Term Running Goals:

Well I ran all the major marathons! I’d like to break 3 hours in the majors so I will have to do Tokyo, New York, and Berlin again. I guess Sydney too when that becomes a major. I’d also like to break 2:40 in the marathon someday which is “out there” but I think it’s possible if I really apply myself.

Most Memorable Race:

Boston 2022. It was my first Boston. I never thought I’d every run a sub 3 hour marathon let alone qualify for Boston. When I started running with DWRunning, I got faster and realized it was possible, and I eventually qualified and got in. Boston is overrun with professional and amateur marathoners, but there is this strong feeling of accomplishment simply being in Boston as part of the weekend of celebration. It’s a TOUGH race, but with how hard it was to qualify for, run it, and the history behind it, I was overwhelmed when I ran down Boylston and crossed the finish.

Fun Facts:

I met my fiancé in a half marathon.
I hated cross country in high school and instead played football and water polo.
