Hello hello! While I live in Cincinnati now, I’m originally from Cleveland and I will constantly complain that the pizza is better in Cleveland. I’m second born of 5 sibs and from a huge family- I have 63 first cousins. As a kid I did all the sports. In high school, I played tennis and was in marching band but hating running laps for warm-ups. I thought running was boring and not for me. In 2020 I needed something that gave me the mental self care I got from walking but faster- so I picked up the run, selfie, repeat podcast and it changed my life. I went from leader of the ‘you will only catch me running from a zombie (maybe) club’ - to co-leader of a running club. I love books, movies, tv shows, board games, and playing DND.
Favorite Part about BALG
COMMUNITY!!! The connections I have made with so many strong women has been the best. It has helped me feel supported and confident. Having people to connect to about running wins and struggles is something I didn’t know I needed till I experienced it. It has helped me connect with new people in my city and it’s so exciting. I love watching the community inspire me and others!
