Who I am
I'm Katie, an endurance enthusiast and world traveler trying to achieve lofty goals in the running world! I run and train in the Washington, DC region. When I'm not running, I am probably at work in the conservation space, focused on educating and advocating the public and our elected officials about the natural world around us.
I've been running since high school, with varying degrees of competition. After a mildly successful high school cross country and track career that really taught me to love the sport without being overly competitive, I made the jump to collegiate competition. After an injury plagued Freshman college season, I was sidelined for 3 years.
I didn't run a single race from November 2009 to October 2012. Then I randomly signed up for a 5K. As they say, the rest is history.
After hundreds of 5K's, multiple 10 miler's and half-marathons, several marathons and ultramarathons, and a few triathlons, here I am. Training for more marathons, trail races, and triathlons.
This website is where I reflect on my own journey through running, and offer support to others seeking to do the same.
