Hey all! I'm Michele and I live in West Town/Ukrainian Village. I am training for the Chicago marathon this fall. I am also a leader in the Blue Line Run Club!

I am in my second year of a PhD program in public policy, management, and analytics at UIC so I have to work around my weird class/teaching/research schedule for runs (but is less hectic in the summer!).

This year I have raced a variety of distances (5k, 10k, 10mi, half) and am thinking I enjoy the 10-mile races. I typically run on the 606 but head to the lakefront for longer runs.

Hope to catch you all at a run soon!
