Hi everyone! My name is Rachel, and I just moved to Hell’s Kitchen post-grad this past June. I was a distance swimmer in college, so once I moved here, I wanted to establish a new routine and got into running that way for the first time ever! Which has been fun but different - I just ran a half marathon in October in Brooklyn and am hoping to run a full marathon next year (which is something I thought I’d never say!!). Overall, I’ve been mostly enjoying running for the social aspect and always look forward to meeting new people, so I’m excited to join this group.💙 planning to run the Tiny Turkey Trot this Saturday and will see you then!
