Hello everyone, my name is Alex and I am a beginner runner as of June 2023. I've been living in Chicago about 2 1/2 years and I'm originally from Central Pennsylvania but have also moved around quite a bit.
I definitely never thought that would call myself a runner but I've really been enjoying getting out and pushing myself. I like running in the West Loop (where I live) and am looking forward to doing some running along the lake.
I did my first 5k in June and am signed up for the Mag Mile 10k in September. I'm aspiring to run a half marathon in the spring and maybe a full marathon in the fall of '24. Maybe the Chicago Marathon??
I've never run with a group before (besides high school sports) and am looking forward to meeting some new people and having some fun!
