Why I run: Running settles my mind. It allows me to think and feel alive. I love the people that have come into my life because of running and the experiences that I'm able to have because of it.

Favorite Shoe: That second NB RC Elite was money. Right now I don't think I have one but I do have plenty of options I get to choose from daily 🙂

Favorite Distance: 26.2 miles baby

Favorite Place to run: The Rose Bowl

Favorite or go-to workout: A long run where I'm alternating between marathon pace and about 15-20 slower than marathon pace. I'll do about 5-6 sets of those after a 4 mile warm up and it feels nasty but then I feel strong.

What I like to eat/drink before a run: Coffee for sure. If I'm fueling up I'll probably drink some Skratch

Favorite post-race meal: Either pizza or burger and beer

Training philosophy: It's not all about hitting home runs. Some of the greatest comebacks in baseball were created off of singles and doubles. The goal is to build one day at a time.

Favorite quote that inspires me: "You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky

Where to find me when I’m not running: At a brewery or home relaxing

Personal best:
Marathon - 2:29:40
Half Marathon - 1:11:54

Other Tidbits: I love basketball and Marvel movies. I probably have more action figures than I should have lol
