FAVORITE RUNNING OR RACING EXPERIENCE: 

Portland Marathon 2015. It was my first marathon. I was so proud that I followed my training plan and finished!

FAVORITE PLACE TO RUN: 

Ashland, Oregon. I love the views and hanging out with the awesome Women of Woodlands crew on Thursday nights.

FAVORITE POST-RUN EATS/DRINKS: 

I’m new to town but so far I really like the burritos at Taqueria Picaro or a hot bowel of lentil soup and a hot tea at Dobra Tea. It’s so nice to walk straight into town (Ashland) and grab a bite after doing a run.
