Profile

Hi there, I'm 32 years old, and a fellow at MGH in Boston. Therefore, you will see a lot of my routes starting or ending at MGH. I love to run outside, while I really dislike treadmills, because I can't feel or smell the fresh air, and I don't have the same feelings I get when running outside, which is why I'm running in the first place. I run in the snow, until it gets too icy in the winter. This year I'm training for the Boston Marathon which forces me to run through the winter. I pick my routes based on landscape, sights along the way, safety (with as little traffic as possible), and try to fit in trails if I can. I live in JP, and love to explore the arboretum, running of course. I commute to work mostly by bike, and also bike with the CRW and once in a while with the Crack-O-Dawn group. My favorite shoes are Adidas Supernova by MiAdidas. My favorite bike is the TREK 5200 (softer carbon), and TREK Madone 5.9 (Can't beat Dura-Ace and the looks). No, I'm not a swimmer, can't do all, right? Most important motivators? My husband, and being one with nature.
