Started running in May 2022 with no watch, questionable shoes and a desire to get outside more. That grew into 9 marathons, 3 Boston qualifiers, and a PR drop from 3:47 to 3:03. I became a coach because I love the community running builds, and because starting is easier with someone in your corner.
