Hey everyone! My name is Andrew. I live in Lansdale, PA, but commute into Philly a few times a week for work (and up to NY every other month or so), so I hope I can join some group runs.
I’ve run on and off, but mostly off since college, moved to Philly from Chicago with my family shortly before COVID and managed to develop a strong running habit during lockdown. Since, I’ve run the Philadelphia Marathon and the LOVE Half twice, while giving my 7yo Son the running bug as well. I coach his track and cross country teams, and recently started running 5ks with him and some of his friends.
My running goal was originally to run a marathon. Check! Now my goal is to qualify for Boston by the time I’m 45 and to run each of the 6 majors. The Broad Street Run this weekend wraps up my spring season, but I’ll soon begin training for the Chicago Marathon in the Fall. My favorite place to run right now is Peace Valley Park. The coolest place I've ever run was in Phoenix Park in Dublin, which used to be a walled-in hunting ground featuring a herd of the gnarliest looking wild deer I've ever seen.
