Personal Bio:
I played soccer starting at a young age and continued all the way through college. I quit playing shortly after starting my career due to limited opportunities. A few years
after college, I signed up for a local marathon (Utah Valley) as motivation to stay in shape. I ended up falling in love with running and all that came with it; the training, pushing through the pain, the feeling after crossing the finish line, and the amazing running community. Since that time, I’ve participated in many running events each year ranging from 5Ks to marathons and several relays. I enjoy pushing myself and achieving results beyond what I thought I was capable of.
My primary running goals are to maintain my health, continue to push myself and be competitive in races, participate in a few new races each year, and continue to have fun. Oh, and maybe finally get that sub-20-minute 5K.
