I've been running and biking for fitness off and on since high school. In grad school, though, was when I truly fell in love with running, as my time to "clear all the junk" out of my head. I'm accident- and injury-prone, so am fanatical about stretching and cross-training. While running remains my first and true love, it doesn't always love me back, and so I was overjoyed when training for my first 70.3 in 2017 to find that same meditative space in swimming as in running. I've been told that I am relentlessly cheerful and encouraging - and I can't wait share my passion for the sports with you.
