Running has been a huge part of my life, starting in 5th grade joining cross country. I started out not being one of the fastest runners on the team, actually for quite a few years. But through time, miles, and investment from coaches I have grown a lot as a runner and am really proud of how far I have come. Over the last couple of years, I have grown an interest in the marathon having now completed two with a PR of 2:46:36 and am looking forward to seeing what is to come, especially in the marathon.
