Personal Bio:
I have been running since I was in high school. I ran my first marathon in 2007, but did not fall in love with it until after my second marathon in 2010. Since then I have been hooked on long distance running, especially the marathon. I even completed a research project at the University of Kansas Medical Center studying the brains of long distance runners. I especially enjoy running with my training partner, yellow lab Lucy. I just recently graduated with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, and I am excited to spend more time running and working towards more personal bests!
