I wanted to lose weight and look good for my best friend's wedding in October of 2016. Along the way, a good friend got me motivated to start running and training for a half marathon (fingers crossed for January 2018!), and now I'm here.

I love the sense of accomplishment that comes after a good workout, be it in the gym or on a run. I'm still a lifter at heart thanks to my days as a track and field thrower, but running has grown on me.
