Hi! I'm Ren and I live in NYC via Lower Manhattan (NOHO/EV) but despite having addresses across five continents, I grew up in extremely rural IA. My (then) job moved me to NYC in 2019 on one week's notice and I ran my first half in Vancouver BC only a few weeks later.
In the past almost year, I decided to seriously rekindle my love of running to cope with some not so great things that were going on in my life and have run 15+ races (sanctioned + unsanctioned) since then. Notably completing 9+1 in under 4 months for 2023 and running a sub-5min. mile. My favorite place to run is honestly anywhere where there is life and energy happening around me. A lot of upcoming races, some of which include Copenhagen + NYC this fall. Just enjoying the process and continuing to build endurance/speed (and stay injury free).
Favorite running memory: every coworker/friend that I've ever talked into running a race, esp. the Great Wall of China race. Sorry to my coworkers about the elevation changes.
