Personal Bio:![]()
I started running in 1998 and accumulated a number of marathons over the next 20 years. In 2019 I started taking my training more seriously and have enjoyed the competition, setting new PRs, and building new friendships along the way. Always looking for new running experiences across all distances.![]()
