When did you start running? In 2012 but buckled down and got consistent in 2023. I was going through some stuff at the time and it was a way to get things off of my chest, then I just fell in love with it.
Tell us about your run club. They’re my people, their encouragement has helped me through my frustrating summer miles and got me to the starting line of my first marathon this year. It was through the club that I met some of my current best friends! I don’t think I would have stuck with running as long as I have or achieved what I’ve achieved without them, they give me a reason to show up & keep going.
Favorite moment about running or your run club? Run club is my favorite thing about running haha! I go to two — Goose’s Acre and Fleet Feet Hughes Landing — and they’re the majority of my social life. I love that my hobby has brought me to other active people because they not only get it but they keep me going when I sometimes don’t want to (some weeks I run just to see my friends!) & everything is easier to love when you share it with others.
You are capable of more than you think, so tackle that dream distance or chase that PR — you’ll get there eventually. Relentless forward progress, you got this!
