Personal strengths:  very good at running in circles for extended periods of time

Reason for joining Northstar:  Was looking for some people to do my long runs with when I signed up for my first marathon, which was back in 2011.

Favorite running shoes:  Whatever Wendy tells me to run in.  I am not really loyal to a brand but I do like Hokas for long distances.

Favorite place to run:  Lebanon Hills. I love that place.  It may not be the best place for hill training but it sure is fun.

Running Goals:

•     Short-term:  Get back to running consistently
•     Long-term: Get faster at short to mid distance races.
