Best Running Experience: There are too many to count so I’ll have to go with my most euphoric running experience. A solo 18 mile training run with 15 miles at 2:58 MP in a torrential downpour, running through lake like puddles, and a grin on my face from ear to ear!!!
Worst Running Experience: January 1, 2015- New Years Eve 5km followed by a New Years Day 5km followed by a 9 month stress fracture in my pelvis.
Racing Shoes: Adidas Adios & Nike Streak. The bulk of my training is in either the Adidas Boston or Ultra Boost

Favourite Training Session: Give me a long session at MP or HMP and I am a happy camper! I do love a good old fashion tempo though!

Little known fact about me: I have a rare “disease” called Kienböcks. Basically I have a dead fractured bone in my wrist. I am also an avid sleep talker & I can’t sleep without a fan.
