Currently Training For: Great question! Haha, It was supposed to be the Snickers marathon but now so far is "my other marathon was canceled...marathon" lol. Anyway, I am excited to run a marathon this year since my last one was Fargo back in 2018
Miles Run/Walked Per Week: ~30 to 40
Favorite place to run: I do not have a favorite place here in GNV but I do like the Hawthorne trail though.
Favorite Thing to Eat For Dinner: Medium-rare steak and grilled asparagus
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!
