About Me

I am a Marathon runner in Overland Park Kansas and run with the Runner's Edge Kansas City. I ran Cross Country at Blue Valley Northwest High School going from 30 minutes for a 5k my Freshman year to running in the low 18's by my Senior year. I also ran the two mile in track while in high school. My high school coach told me that he saw something in me and that I needed to go to the Marathon and after one year of college running I decided the time was right and I found my coach Eladio Valdez.

Inspirations

My Dad, Lance Armstrong (my sports hero), Steve Prefontaine (running Hero), my friends and everyone at Runner's Edge Kansas City. I never run for myself, I run to inspire people to show them that anything is possible and that nothing is impossible.

Biggest obstacle/challenge

Being told I can't do this. I've proven a lot of people wrong.

Superstitions

Must eat the same breakfast before any race or morning run.

Nobody knows...

That I went to Culinary School and that I wear a St. Christopher necklace.

Biggest athletic accomplishment

Running in the 2010 USA Half Marathon Championship which I ran a 1:13:48.

Favorite thing about training

Friendships that you make and all the miles that I run during the week.

Least favorite thing about training

I love everything about my training.

I work out to...

Win and inspire people.
