Who Is Your Running Role Model? Who Has Influenced You
Most In Running? Joan Benoit Samuelson has always been a model for me. Especially now as she runs with a family.
Did You Run in College or High School? List Events, Awards, Honors: I ran in high school. Our team placed 3rd in state. In the last couple of years I’ve done well in my age group - 1st or 2nd place in many local races.
What Is Your Favorite Workout? I hate speedwork, but during long runs I will incorporate fartlek-type running. I especially like to do this on the MKT trail.
What is Your Favorite Training Route in Columbia? I recently moved, so I’m learning new routes. I currently like Green Meadows to Reactor Field (back road) to MKT trail (Providence entrance) to Forum back down Stadium to Providence to Reactor Field to Green Meadows. For a long run I like to run down Old Plank Road and long the Katy Trail, especially in the fall.
Personal Info and Interests: I am married with one child, Megan (almost 3). I am currently pregnant. I’ve been in CTC for 4-5 years. I also enjoy biking, hiking, and skiing. I would like to do a triathlon when the kids are older, and I have more time to train.
