A quotation you like… |
So I Run with Purpose in Every Step. 1 Corinthians 9:26
Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up.
That voice inside your head that says you can’t do this is a liar. |

|
Why do you run?
|
I run for exercise, but more I run for mental health, clarity, and pure enjoyment of the Runner’s High that comes from a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Running provides peace and empowerment to achieve goals never thought possible! |

Describe your best marathon memory.
|
Running my first marathon – Marine Corps Marathon Shadow Run – in the dusty, rocky path around Camp Arifjan after training with “The Minnows” to accomplish something I never thought possible. It was during this race that I fell in love with myself again through running and haven’t stopped since. Everyday I’m reminded on the precious gift that was given to me during this race. |
