Where are you from?
I grew up in Bettendorf, Iowa and moved to Minneapolis after college.
How long have you been running? What attracts you to it?
I first started running in middle school and joined the cross country team in high school and fell in love with the sport! I tried other sports growing up, but never quite found my niche. What I like most about running is exploring new places and the freedom that comes with it. Running definitely helps clear my head after a day spent teaching elementary kids!
What’s the best event you’ve run in? Tell us about it!
Every spring a handful of my co-workers run the Lake Minnetonka Half Marathon. It’s a great excuse to get together with friends to train and also motivates me to get out and run during the cold winter months. The course takes you through downtown Wayzata and around Lake Minnetonka. The scenery is great! The best time I’ve ever had running the course also happened to be the race where my husband proposed. It will always be a special race for me!
Your favorite distance?
10 milers. It’s the perfect distance to keep a fast steady pace and allows me to push myself at the end.
What motivates you? What do you RUN FOR?
What motivates me to run most is to stay fit and healthy. I love competing and challenging myself to always get faster.
What’s your experience like wearing Fitsok?
I love how Fitsok conforms to my feet. I’ve worn them for every race and I’ve finished blister free!
