Bio:
I began running in high school as a way to condition for soccer. I enjoyed it so much I joined the track team and ran for 3 years, mostly the 400 and 800.
I attended Otterbein College and played soccer. I was a 4-year starting defender and an all-conference player my senior year. I loved playing, but women don't stay competitive after college. I turned to running because it would allow me to still feel like an athlete and compete. My husband was a runner and gave me the motivation to get started.
My husband made me read Jack Daniel's Running Formula, a.k.a "The Bible." I ran for about 2 months before I got IT band tendonitis and hip bursitis. I wasn't able to run pain free for about a year.
Once I was able to run again, I started doing track workouts. The 1st 5K I ran was a 21:54. After a few months of working out I was able to run a 20:20. I've watched my 5K times drop steadily to an 18:43. Running is a such a great sport because if you work hard you'll see results!
I also love the friends you make while running. I did most of my training with my twin sister until my husband introduced me to the CRC crew. I've been able to meet a great group of friends, have been able to spend a lot of quality time with my sister, and share a passion for the sport with my husband. Running has become an important part of my life and I plan for it to stay that way.
Outside of running, I live in Upper Arlington with my wonderful husband Brad, who is also a CRC part-time employee. I am a physical therapist and athletic trainer and work at Banyan Tree Rehabilitation in Hilliard. I love sharing injury-prevention ideas and kicking my running buddies (Rachael and Jamie) butts with kettle bells.
