How long have you been involved with running?
I’ve been running for about 8 years.  
What got you involved with running?
I started running to get out of the gym. I wanted to exercise outdoors. I then started running more because it was helping with my rock climbing. Now I run more than any other exercise.
How many days a week do you usually run?
I run usually 5-7 days a week. 
What is the greatest distance you have raced?
I ran a 45-mile ultra with Robie! 
What is one of your most memorable race/ event and what made it so special?
Running the 39.3 challenge up in Maine in a banana costume. I had a ton of fun.
Do you always enjoy going out for a run? 
Not always. Some days I want to just sleep in. 
What are some of the things that gets you out the door when you really don’t feel like going out on a run?
I told people I would run with them. Running alone is the pits.
What are you working towards currently in your workouts? 
I’m training for 3 marathons in 9 days. The training has been a ton of mileage.
What are some of you long term running goals?
I just signed up for a 100-mile ultra with Robie. I would love to do an ultra on the West Coast at some point.
How long have you been a member of GNRC?
I can’t remember when I first joined but Mel. T recruited me! 
What are some of the things you enjoy about being a member of GNRC? 
I love running with our members. They are great people: supportive and kind. I feel very lucky to have met them.
​In what ways has the club made a difference in your running?
I feel really fortunate to run with the club and have met so many great people. It makes the runs more enjoyable.
