About Me

       

Runner. Marathoner. Daughter. Sister. Auntie. Cat lover. Teacher. Wife.

Sparknotes version of my life (because who wants to read a novel about my life?):

• I was born in New Jersey in the early 90's and I still reside here.
• I have a younger brother and older sister who I run and workout with.
• I married my high school sweetheart of 9+ years on August 9, 2019!
• I graduated from Millersville University with my degrees in early childhood and special education in May 2017. 
• I teach first grade special education but have also taught middle school special education. 
• When I am not at work or running, you can find me binge watching TV shows on Netflix or reading thriller novels.
• My favorite TV show is Grey's Anatomy. I've watched the complete series twice.
• I have a slight obsession with penguins and the color purple.
• My husband and I have two adorable cats named Dexter and Jax {Jackson}. Dexter is named after the serial killer TV show and Jax is named after Jackson Avery on Grey's.
• I'm the proud auntie of two precious nephews, Tommy and Joey.

Sparknotes version of my running life:

• My running journey began in May 2013.
• The first race I ever ran was a 5k.
• The longest distance I have run is a marathon.
• I can't decide if my favorite distance is the half marathon or the marathon. I just really love the long runs during training.
• I run about 15-20 miles a week on average.
• My current shoe I run in are the Brooks Ghost 12.
• My ideal weather for a run is slightly chilly because I get warm super quickly.
• To go along with my ideal weather for a run, my ideal outfit for a run is shorts and a tank top. I will wear even for chilly runs because I get so darn hot.
• I track my runs on my Garmin Forerunner 230 and I am obsessed with checking my stats on the Garmin Connect app.
• My go to fuel for a run is gummy bears and Campfire S'mores Gu.
• I am an ambssador for Nuun and ROADiD.
• I tend to run the same routes over and over again. Since moving in September 2019, I have made it a goal of mine to explore all of the neighborhoods and trails nearby and so far I am doing great with that.
