• When Did You Start Running/Walking and Why? I have started running during my last year of vet school mostly trying to balance out my poor diet and beer consumption. I would never expect it would grow so much on me once I first started.

• What Motivates You to Run/Walk? I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment especially after longer distances or a tough workout. Plus it is always nice to be outside and enjoy the views!

• What do you like the most about Team FTC? The atmosphere! It is very motivational to have fun people to log miles with or to suffer through a track workout lol. Plus the support from Coach and Angela is amazing!
