Hey all! My name’s Erica, and I’m a PhD student at UW. I’m a newish, not-fast runner looking to keep building endurance & do things I previously couldn’t & make running friends :) I’m originally from Massachusetts, and lived in Ohio for couple of years. I also used to teach power yoga.

I’m signed up to run the Lake Sammamish Half in March. It’ll be my first half. My most recent races are the Summer series 10k in August and the Dawg Dash 5k last month. The 10k was the longest I’d ever run at the time, but I’ve run slightly longer distances (up to 8mi I think) since then. I really like running on the Burke Gilman, but I’m looking to get out of my comfort zone a bit in that respect too.

I’m also hoping to run a full marathon sometime in the next couple of years as a charity runner for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
