What is your history with sports and athletics?
I played tennis throughout high school. I always enjoyed hiking and going to the gym, but I got into trail running 10 years ago. My dog who was 4 at the time had lots of energy so I took him out for a walk one time, and we ended up running. That was the start of my running journey.
I continued to run 5K’s and 10K’s until I jumped to the half marathon about a year and a half into running. and then the next year I made the jump to ultra running. I found the love of the trails to be much more rewarding and peaceful.
