Hey everyone! My name is Becca and I’m super stoked for tomorrow’s run! I was at last weeks run and had such a great time meeting you all! I moved to Austin in late July, from Boston, but i’m originally from Rochester, NY. The heat here has been a big adjustment, but I think I’m finally getting used to it (just as it starts cooling down a bit)

I ran track in high school (400m and 800m), but got into running more seriously during covid. However, coming from the north, I always tended to take a step back in the winters because running in blizzards is not fun lol. I’m excited to have moved down here and be able to run year-round more consistently! I haven’t done any races yet (besides my hometown’s annual Turkey Trot, which the picture is from), but I’m thinking of running the Austin half this year! I’m a little nervous for that though and haven’t signed up yet!

My instagram is @becca.barnes if anyone wants to connect on there! See you all in the morning!🥳
