Running made me believe in myself! I really didn’t know how hard I was able to push myself before I started running. Three marathons later, I know that I can do hard things!

I was loving the content and just needed more!

Running is whatever I make of it on that given day—social time, me time, restorative, or a way to push myself further than I ever thought I could. I love the freedom that comes with just stepping out the door.

I run mostly around my neighborhood in Falls Church, but I love when I can get on a trail (Mt. Vernon in DC, for example).

I am pretty low maintenance in terms of gear, but I just got my first pair of Brooks Ghost, and I love them. And of course, my Strava subscription!

My fiancé (who is also a runner!) and I both love craft beer. Since we started dating, we have visited 59 craft breweries together (and we do keep a log)!

Big pie in the sky goal: I would love to run sub-3 some day. But my PR is a 3:10, so we’ll see what else I’ve got in me! More reasonably, to run the Big Sur Marathon some day.
