Bio:
I went to a small 1A school and played several sports, including volleyball, cross country, basketball, and softball. I ran in college to stay in shape and started signing up for road races during graduate school. My first marathon was the 2015 Garmin KC Marathon, and I was hooked after finishing one minute short of a BQ. I have since hit the BQ mark four times and ran my first Boston Marathon last April, setting a PR. I love pushing myself through endurance training and immersing myself in the running community. My goals include to continue to improve my marathon time to as close to 3:00 as possible and half marathon time to 1:25. I would also love to complete a triathlon (Olympic distance or ½ Iron Man) in the next year or two.
