‍Training Philosophy: Never let it get stale. It's not our job so this sport should always be fun in some way; reframe it however you need to to make that true. Learn to love the push, change things up to make it interesting, find what works for you and helps it be sustainable.

‍Why I run: Running fills my soul. It's freedom. It's exploration. It's peace in the middle of chaos. It's challenge. It facilitates mental growth. It's dedication. It's creativity. It's community. It's a contributor to my life on so many different levels.

‍Where To Find Me When I’m Not Running: Working on various running projects like LA Running Connoisseur, in front of my computer building marketing programs, playing with my cats, working on decor projects, taking my niece and nephew on adventures, hopping on a plane to escape the country to scuba dive in tropical locales.
