How did you hear about Pacifica Runners. The internet! I was new to Pacifica and looking for opportunities to meet folks in the community, so I showed up to a Saturday morning run. Shoutout to Gabe and Colin for running with me on my first day and being super welcoming.How long have you been running? I played a lot of sports growing up and was often center midfielder, which involved running all over the field. Aside from a one-season stint on the middle school track team, I didn't run outside of sports until college.How did you get into running? My college friends were training for a half marathon and convinced me to join them. We ended up running several races across the Southeast together.Do you have a favorite race(s)? Our local Pacifica Runners 5Ks, of course. I'm not a big racer, but I am usually game to sign up for a race with friends.What are your favorite running trails/routes? Popular opinion around here: I love running the Pacifica coastline. We're lucky to live somewhere this beautiful!What are your future running goals? I don’t have time or distance goals at the moment—I just want to keep showing up consistently.What do you enjoy most about Pacifica Runners? The people are wonderful. I've met so many friends and neighbors through the club, and I find running with others to be so much more enjoyable than running solo.Any other cool info about yourself? In addition to running, I also love yoga, skiing, pickleball, and our very own Mika's strength and mobility classes. I think that's why I don't set ambitious training goals. I'm happiest when I have the time and energy to do a little bit of many types of movement. |
