Hi hi!! My name is Caroline and I live out in Woburn, working in Burlington! I’m 23 and a recent transplant to the area after graduating from school back in CA. It’s been hard to find a running community in city due to work hours vs commuting hours (since I don’t own a car) but hopefully this’ll motivate me to get out and meeting fellow running peeps! (My Strava is: https://www.strava.com/athletes/67159668)

I’m currently “training” for the Cambridge Half Marathon on November 5th, and before that I’d done 2 halfs (though with no training-except-the-kind-in-which-you-bank-on-your-high-school-athletics-to-tide-you-over-because-uni-is-busy which was kind of painful) at around 2 hours each so this time, my goal is sub 1:50 with sub 1:44 as a stretch goal!

My current favourite routes are all around Woburn-Winchester but I absolutely love running through “interesting” routes, either surroundings or trails or with lots of elevation change! I’m hoping to tag in a long run in the Cambridge-Boston-Charles area this weekend though, so I’m currently accepting running route suggestions! 😁

Funny stories… honestly the humidity blows me away here… I feel like I freshly took a shower every run, no matter the temperature! 🥵

I’m super excited to hopefully start meeting people (RIP buses before 6:00) and get to know the community around!
