in In 2007, I started running. I completed my first 10k in a sea of Argentine runners while studying abroad in Buenos Aires. That day when I crossed the finish line, I rediscovered the competitor, fitness-guru girl that had always lived inside of me but had been hiding in the background since my ACL injury and repair in 2002.
Since that day, I have overcome a number of injuries, personal obstacles, and career changes to get where I am today: a runner and triathlete. As such, I run more races than my wallet appreciates, but I love every minute of it. Check out my races and race recaps below.
