What is your running "origin story?"

After a knee surgery several years ago, I was told that mountain biking and running was not for me any more. Then, after a very long hiatus, I took up a little running in order to pass a fire fighter test. Now I run for physical and mental health. I am in the best shape I have been in a long time. Being outside is truly healing!

Best/worst/funniest memory from a race?

While trail running, nature called, and I answered. More than once.

Why do you choose to represent Terra Running Company as an Ambassador?

As a Cleveland native, I can honestly say that we have never had a running store like Terra. I am really proud of what Brittany, Tiffany, and all of the team are doing. I am so glad to be a part of such a cool community of runners!

What are your favorite 3 items in Terra? 

Shoes, and, well, some more shoes, and I think I got some gloves, and a Garmin fitness watch.

Favorite place to run/walk/hike in the area? 

We train at Johnson Woods a lot. But Gee Creek falls and Clemmer is a favorite. Lula Lake is amazing!

What shoe(s) are you currently running/walking in? 

Altra for trails, and Hoka for the hard surfaces.

What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about running or becoming more active? 

Be consistent. No matter how small you need to start. Stay consistant and take in the fresh air.
