I’ve always been an athlete, but I’ve not always been a runner.  And even once I accepted that title, it took a while for me to start taking running from “hobby” to “sport”.

From rookie days in cotton tanks, to puke-worthy 5Ks, to stars-aligned marathons, there’s a race tale from every point of the run love/hate spectrum here.

I’m still very much your average runner – I don’t L-O-V-E every mile and I’ll never get to trade in my day job – but running has become a huge part of my life. I’ve learned to enjoy all the wild ups and downs that come with training, and am excited to keep working to see what kind of a runner I’ve got hidden deep down inside of me…
