Long-Term Running Goals:

To complete a 100 miler.

Running Start:

I started running in 1994 during 7th grade. My dad would speed walk at a local indoor track. I saw a poster for the Arbor Day Tree Trot 5k and signed up for it. I started train for it by running on the track while my dad walked. We made a routine out of it for years. My mom has since then replaced me but I still try to make it from time to time. As for the 5k, I won my age group and been hunting down age group awards at all the small 5k races since then!

Fun Facts:

• I’ve never missed a day of school since I began in Kindergarten.

• I was in Phuket Thailand during the 2004 tsunami.

• In 2023 I completed 74 marathons in 74 days.
