HOBBIES Running, hiking, rafting, biking...really anything outdoors! Can eating chocolate be a hobby? I certainly do that often! :)
FAVORITE QUOTE Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
PETS A very large black cat named...Blacky. Original.
RUNNING HISTORY I high jumped and ran sprints for four years at Eagle High School and for two years at Western Washington University (Fall 2005-Spring 2007)...and then I "crossed over" to the world of distance running and got hooked!

GOALS
MEDICAL & INJURY PROFILE
I RUN BECAUSE... Ironically it gives me energy! I love to enjoy nature and what better way to see things than on foot! No two runs are ever the same! It is also a great way to clear my head and get rid of some stress.
I RUN WITH TEAM APEX BECAUSE... All of the team members are inspiring!
