I started running at the age of 8 because my dad offered me a doughnut as a bribe to compete in the local turkey trot. To everyone's surprise, I was faster than most of the other children. Today I am still faster than most children.
I made half-hearted attempts to run seriously in high school and college, but pesky growing pains and injuries kept me on the sidelines through my early 20s, when I became more resilient and better at handling setbacks. I moved to Gainesville in 2021, and I've been building more consistency and regular running meets with FTC and the local town to enjoy running more as a team sport.
PRs (Estimates 2022): 1-mile: 4:50. 5k: 16:30. 10k: 35:15. HM: 1:24:00.
