Pennsburg, PA

Favorite kicks: Asics

Pre-race ritual: Wawa coffee is a must!

Pre-race snack: Bagel with peanut butter

Tips for new runners: Get fitted for the proper shoes. Work your way up in mileage wisely.

Why she runs: Being overweight the majority of my life, running was never something I thought I could do. When I did attempt it, I had severe back pain. After getting properly fitted for shoes, the pain went away and my running journey began. Now I run a handful of races each year and enjoy running outside for some "me time."
