When did I start running?
I fell
in love with running in the 4th grade when I had to run the mile for
the PE fitness test. At the age of 10, while wearing a pair of Gap jean
overalls and Samba sneakers, I crossed the finish line in 8:22. In 5th
grade I traded in the Samb as for a pair of Nikes and ran the mile in 7:59. By
the time I got to high school I decided to hang up my soccer cleats and join
the cross country team. Without a doubt it was the best part of my high school
experience.
What is on my running
playlist?
Hamilton,
Dear Evan Hansen, and Wicked (huge theater fan)
Why I joined the NY Flyers?
Last
spring I searched for a club team that offered weekly long runs to help me
prepare for my first marathon. Initially, I only planned to join the NY Flyers
for the long runs, but after attending a few Thursday night and Saturday
morning runs I realized just how much I missed running for a team. The fun and
supportive spirit of the Flyers helped me crush multiple personal records that
I had set five or more years ago when I was a graduate student at NYU.
Running sneakers: Asics
Pre-race breakfast: Skippy Peanut Butter (never
crunchy) on whole wheat bread.
