Heyy! From a very young age I had an abundance of energy and a drive in me that I struggled to regulate. It wasn't until I found martial arts that I was able to channel my energy into something useful. From there I discovered movement as a way of keeping my mind from spiraling.
As a kid I loved bikes and being outside. I didn't find running until high school cross country, where it turned out I was pretty decent at it. Longer distances suited me best, and I built slowly up to a marathon. There were setbacks the whole way. Stress fractures plagued me constantly and cut my collegiate running short, but they pushed me toward endurance cycling, which is now a big part of what keeps me healthy while I train. In the winter of 2023 a femoral stress fracture had me convinced my running days were over. Two surgeries later — one to put a plate and rod in, one to take them out — I'm back. Physical activity is great for the mind and body no matter your pace. Getting out there is the most important part.
When I'm not running or biking, you will probably find me reading a variety of different genres — literary fiction, horror, historical fiction, classic lit. I'm willing to read just about anything, so if you have any recommendations be sure to send them my way!
