I grew up in an abusive household. I was 3 when I would “run away”. By the time I was 5 I could run pretty far and my Kindergarten gym teacher, who was also the track and cross country coach, could see that. Mr. Kozub took me under his wings and helped me turn running into a positive, free way to “escape”.
I love to learn about everything running so I joined RW+ so I could get more information and get to interact with the coaches!
My goals and dreams are the major motivations to get out the door. I won’t stop until I reach them, no matter how long it takes. Running makes me feel free and powerful.
I meet with my friends Lizzi, Kaitlyn and Erienne at 4:30 a.m. for runs! It’s great to have the accountability even when the weather isn’t the best!
Recently my coach Scott introduced me to Emery Park. It’s hilly but oh so beautiful! I enjoy the quiet streets, the fog lifting off of the farmlands and the sound of the footsteps as we run. It’s a challenging run but so worth it!
My Pearl Izumi windproof jacket is AMAZING for the freezing, Buffalo winter! I’ve had it for about 8 years and it’s still holding on strong!
Qualify for the Boston Marathon!
