Lara

I’m the baby of the running family. The adventurer of the family, I’ve used running as a way to embrace new places.

What I’m all about:

  • #1 Running Goal: Run a marathon in Europe (and maybe even an ultra down the line!)
  • I’ve been running for: 12 years
  • Current pace: 8:00-8:30
  • My shoe: Puma Ventis II
  • Post-run guilty pleasure: Starbucks in the winter, Chick-fil-A milkshake in the summer!
  • Weird running ritual: I always visualize my run beforehand even if it’s just a training run or a few miles on the treadmill. I need to see myself running (and feeling awesome afterwards) to get the motivation to lace up my shoes.
  • Best running advice I ever got: If you need to rest, then rest.
  • Music that pumps me up: Mashups
  • When I’m not running, I’m: Trying out a new vegetarian recipe in my crock pot.
