    • How long you've been running with ATCR: Spring of 2021. 

    • Your favorite distance to race and why: I love the marathon. It’s such a great challenge with the distance and pacing. There’s a lot of ambiguity with the marathon because it’s such a long race, but I love getting to mile 22 and knowing that I’ve run smart, I didn’t hit a wall, and it’s easy sailing for the last 4. 

    • One unique fact about yourself: I entered the fitness industry as a pole dance instructor! I still teach pop up classes, but running is my current focus.

    • How long you've been running with ATCR: Spring 2021

    • You're favorite distance to race and why: Hands down half marathons. I feel I run often enough that it doesn’t require an uptick in training. Also, it’s a distance that I can run hard and still enjoy the rest of my day.

    • One unique fact about yourself: While not entirely unique, I hold moderate political and social views that I believe are in the minority within the Tribe community.

    • How long you've been running with ATCR: June 2020 

    • You're favorite distance to race and why: Half Marathon! The distance is long enough that you can really ease into the miles and adjust as needed but short enough that you're not questioning life choices (like a marathon haha)

    • One unique fact about yourself: My brother and I are the first set of twins on both sides of our family in 2 generations!
