About
I started running as a way to stay in shape for soccer, and eventually left the soccer field for the track. I love road races, and mainly focus on the 5k and up to the marathon. At 25 years old, I’m still learning and growing in the sport. I have always enjoyed competing and bettering myself through running. I’m always up for a run with company, good debate, and a book recommendation.
