About me: 
I have been an avid runner for years and more recently became enthusiastic about competitive cycling and multi-sport events. I was born and raised in Fort Worth. I love everything about it and Austin is the only municipality that could possibly even compete with it. Ok, College Station too. I currently run for Brooks ID program and LOVE it! (The new Trance 7 rules by the way!) I also work for the best specialty running store ever and am so blessed to have that opportunity. I am currently attending graduate school for a MS in Forensic Genetics. I received my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University in Biomedical Science and Entomology (double major). I started writing articles for Flotrack in December 2007. It's changed my life, and I can't thank Mark Floreani enough. I love Starbucks, sushi, and Red Bull. Anything else, just ask.
Why do I run: 
I run to be free. I run to set a standard for myself. I run to beat my own demons. I run to live, and live to run.
Why I started running: 
Well, it all started in high school soccer practice. My Junior Varsity coach noticed I was talented in running and recommended that I try cross country and track out. At the time, I thought she was crazy. But oh, was she so right!!!
