Personal bio:
After playing soccer all through college, I got into running as a way to stay active. I raced my first marathon in Des Moines in 2019 with hopes of hitting a BQ on the first try, and I did. My 2nd marathon I was lucky enough to complete Boston the fall year of 2021 (due to COVID) and went back again in spring of 2022. As part of training or down time between training blocks you will often see me pacing local half marathons as well.
Goals:
March 2025 going for the Kansas record for the 50k (3:36); and breaking the 3-hour marathon in either late spring or fall, race to be determined; I also want to work on some of the shorter race distances and increase overall speed.
