When did you start running? I started running in junior high as part of my school’s track team. I quit running in college and would start and stop over and over but never really stuck with it until 2019. That was the year I helped start the run club at what was then Astral Brewing.
Tell us about your run club. ARC has been the best thing I’ve done!! We have grown quite a lot in the 5 years we’ve been doing this. It used to be a small group of dedicated runners (10 per week) and now we get 30-40 on a weekly basis. We like to participate in races together and support our runners wherever they are in their running journey. We’ve expanded our weekly run to include a once a month brunch run.
Favorite moment about running or your run club? My favorite moment was finishing the Aramco Houston Half Marathon in 2023. Knowing I had the stamina to go 13.1 miles was not something I would have considered when I started running again.
Find a group of like minded runners and have fun. Remember that you are only competing against
yourself and that a slow run is better than no run. A 6 minute mile and a 15 minute mile is still the same distance!!!
