Hey everyone! I'm Owen, I moved to NYC nine months ago and brought along a hatred for distance running from my college athletics days. But once here, I started running as a way to explore the city and get outside. Now, I can say I’m loving every run!

Name: Owen
City: Kips Bay in NYC 🍎(but imagine it’s big)
Running goal: Tackling an official half marathon first, then setting my sights on a full marathon!
Favorite place to run: West Side Highway - bye bye, East Side construction. Totally worth the added distance to a run to make it over to the WSH.
Upcoming Races: Nothing on the books yet, but would love to hear suggestions for half marathons this summer/fall and beginner-friendly marathons next spring.
Previous Races: No official ones yet, but have completed 3 half marathons on my own so I am prepared for one
Funny running memory: Got decked by a 120lb Newfoundland mid-run down 23rd street. Safe to say I was coated in slobber for the rest of my run, but at least I made a new friend.
Fav running picture (so far): The jaw-dropping evening sunsets along the West Side Highway.

Anything else: Would love to connect with anybody and everybody to go for a run, workout, play some other sport, grab coffee, or grab some drinks. Also, if anyone has a Whoop group going for this community, I would love an invite!
