Why did you begin running?: As a child, I grew up watching and traveling to my dad’s marathons and then I decided to run for my high school and college teams. I run because I enjoy running with new and familiar people, pushing myself to achieve goals and just being outside. Each run is a new adventure.

What is your favorite running memory?: I have several, but among my favorites are running my first marathon/qualifying for the Boston Marathon, qualifying for the state high school track meet and the friendships I’ve developed through running.

Goals for 2008: To continue to improve my PR’s and compete in more races.
