Age: 25

Years Running: About 8 years

My Favorite Race: Statue to Statue 15K or Coker Firehouse 15K- I really like 15K’s
Why? I love tough race courses and I enjoy the challenge of a 15K. Both of these races are incredibly hilly.

Why do you run?: I started out running to try and cut my weight down- When I started I was almost 240lbs, now I run cause it is fun and challenging all at the same time.

I usually run:
Time of Day: Late afternoon/Night
Days: 4-5 days a week
Avg. Training Pace: Probably around 7:45, but I try to run the pace of whoever I am running with
Avg. Race Pace: 6:45

Favorite Training Route: Woodland Hills route- I
made it up. Its about 12 miles long and many many
hills

Favorite Running Shoes: Adidas Supernova
Control- Sean @ Southern Sole Suggested these and they are great
