A fun fact others might not know
I like to do cardio kickboxing instead of running sometimes, and it kicks my butt.
How have you been an ambassador to the sport of running?
I run as many races as I can and usually place in the top five. I train hard every week to try and achieve my personal goals. I believe others can see the determination and dedication of what running means to me.
