How did you start running?

I am passionate about running because I love the comradery that it brings and the opportunity it creates to build deep and meaningful relationships with people. I also love to race and compete and working hard and pushing my body and mind to its limit. I also believe God has given me a desire to run and I can use running to worship Him and bring Him glory.

Tell us an interesting fact/something fun about you?

I have run a blindfolded 10K and ridden my bicycle no-handed for 25 miles. I also can ride a unicycle and juggle.
