Favorite Postrun Food/Beverage:
Some of sort dessert, like two cookies in milk.
If I had to do all of my runs with just one other person every day for the rest of my life, that person would be: I honestly am not sure. John Dewitt always make things interesting! Haha. I do love chatting with Matt Barrett as well....does it have to be one? :)Celebrity I would most like to be in a bromance/be gal pals with: Hmm, you know, Chris Evans would be cool to meet.
The least runner thing about me is: I eat way too many desserts
Superstition: Oh with kids, there's no consistency or superstitions at this point.
My first time from the gym class mile that I remember is: 3rd Grade 7:05
Favorite Running Memory: Toss-up....1) Winning an indoor 5k, which was first and only win in college, after my dad passed away in 2009. 2) Winning the Madison Marathon 4 weeks after dropping out of the Chicago Marathon in a PR at the time of 2:22:48, with my daughter being born 10 days before.
If I weren't a runner, I would probably be...: A much better gardener or cook
Goals for the next year: ^ if it's coaching it's XC, if I am running, it's the track. This upcoming year I just would like to race to be honest...just something meaningful. It's been tough to train with two little kids and work, alongside coaching. I would love to attempt a marathon but we will see what happens. - High School
