How did you hear about Pacifica Runners. I found out about the Tiki Trot and it all went from there!How long have you been running, walking or hiking as a form or exercise? What motivates you to stay at it? I’ve been doing endurance sports (mainly running) for about two years now. My motivation: The thrill of finding out what the body is truly capable of (it’s a lot more than you think).How did you get into running, hiking or walking as a form of exercise? I saw the San Francisco Marathon taking place and I wanted to join, so I signed up for my first half marathon two weeks later.If you're a runner, do you have a favorite race? If walking or hiking are more your speed, where is the best place you've ever taken a walk or hike? Anything ultra distance and preferably trail. Black Canyons 50k this past year was a blast and I can confidently call it my favorite! What are your favorite running/walking/hiking trails/routes? The local loop I made for myself in Palo Alto that goes up and around the Stanford hill ~8-10 miles.What are your future running or fitness goals? I’ll be doing Mingus Traverse 80-miler as part of Cocodona, aiming to finish sub-20.What do you enjoy most about Pacifica Runners? The community and warmth of our favorite skyline track.Any other cool info about yourself? I’ve got a connective tissue disorder called EDS which essentially makes my skin and tendons stretchy. Not sure if it helps with running but it’s definitely a cool party trick! |
