Welcome to our "I'm a Night Runner" series where we feature real people and their running journeys. If you are interested in applying please email beachy@beachymedia.com.
- How long have you been a runner? I've been a runner for approximately 12 years.
- Why did you start running? I started running to get rid of the baby weight. It was also to get out of the house for an hour or so for some me time.
- What was your favorite race? My favorite race is the Bolder Boulder. Such a fun experience. Definitely do it for that, versus trying to get a PR.
- What time do you usually run? I'm up early, before the first light - alarm rings at 4:00. I'm up and out no later than 4:15-4:20. I have to get out then or I get too busy with day stuff.
- What's your favorite part of running in the dark? I like the darkness - the quietness of the night (or super early morning). I like being out when I can be alone.
-
Who is your running inspiration? My inspiration is Kara Goucher - I like that she's local-ish to me (I live about an hour or so from her). She is very motivational and seems to be very down to earth.

Give us a fun fact! Fun fact? I'm relatively boring! I'm a Christmas baby. I am a sci-fi geek, can quote most of the Star Wars movies. Animals are drawn to me, never had one that didn't like me. Even the growly ones
