Fun and laughter enthusiast. Sports fan. Appreciator of good friends. Director in the digital content/film world. Runner.
I had always enjoyed hitting the pavement for some exercise and time to myself but it wasn't until I started training with a group more than three years ago that I really developed a true love for the sport. In that time, I became a "serious" distance runner...racing nine half marathons, five 30km events and three full marathons (as well as a bunch of shorter distance races)
My most recent marathon was in Berlin...it was a tough race for me but a great experience and completed the first step toward my bigger running goal of finishing all the world major marathons! I am very grateful to have the opportunity to continue to challenge myself as a runner but my favourite and most rewarding memories have come from coaching through the winter in 2011 and helping to lead run club as a lululemon Run Ambassador.
