EVERY SKULL HAS A STORY - 3

Why did you start running?

For my mental and physical health. Something to do outside of ski season that also allows me to scope out future ski adventures.

How has running changed your life or mindset?

It's made me stronger both physically and mentally. Taught me to persevere through pain and adversity. It's allowed me to see places most people never will. It has helped me think clearer and confront my inner turmoil and demons.

Funniest or most memorable thing that’s happened to you while running?

My most vivid memory is the feeling of elation and accomplishment, along with exhaustion, as I crossed back over the bridge while completing a Pemi loop.

Favorite snack or treat after a run?

Always a cold Coca cola immediately. Pizza or burgers after that.

One piece of advice you’d give to someone just starting out?

Just keep pushing, you're capable of much more than you think. Hard things are things worth doing.
