Do you listen to anything when you train or race? If yes, what? Yes, music (all kinds!)
What are you most excited and/or nervous about for the marathon? I really want to break the 4 hour mark! Nervous about getting injured during training.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time? Going to the beach, spending time w/ my family, running with or walking my chocolate lab
Anything else you’d like to share? I am an Air Force combat veteran, running kept me sane on my deployment overseas. I know many military members with SCIs and I am honored to run for and represent this organization!
