Why do you run? A long time ago, someone told me I was good at it.

The best thing about being a Hansons-Brooks athlete? Seeing myself and my teammates develop into better athletes.

What have you learned since joining the Hansons-Brooks ODP?  The importance of being an earnest runner.

When did you start running? 2nd grade at the Hershey Track and Field meet.

What challenges do you face as an athlete? My biological clock.

What do you like to do when you're not running? Besides the obvious (eating, sleeping, and working), I like to play games and snuggle with my kitties. My favorite games are Scrabble, Yahtzee, and Gin Rummy.

Favorite event: Marathon.

Favorite workout: It's a toss up between 2x6 miles and mile repeats.

Favorite pre- and post-race foods: Whatever suits my fancy that day.

Role models: My parents, and my fast friends.
