Hi everyone! I’m Allison and am from Bergen County, NJ which is about a half hour or so from the city. I used to hate running in high school but started to do it more in college and found out how much I truly enjoy it! It has helped wonders on my anxiety and overall mental health over the years! I ran my first half marathon in 2017 and have been hooked ever since! This past November I ran the NYC marathon after getting off the waitlist at the end of August. I had less than 12 weeks to train and had never ran more than 14 miles at once but was up for the challenge. It was definitely not the race day I was expecting and had said “never again” multiple times after the race but somehow found myself signing up for the Chicago lottery and got in! I am very excited to have a longer amount of time to train and to have this group to lean on during it!
Fun fact about me is that I am a Registered Dietitian :)
