Hi Everyone! I moved to Chicago ~10 months ago and fell back in love with running! I came for the group run this Saturday (thank you @Nina Hoffmeyer 🩷) and had a blast! I’m so happy to be here & can’t wait for more runs together!!

  • Name: Annie Goldstein

  • City: Chicago (River North). I moved from Cleveland!

  • Running goal: Complete the Chicago marathon (my first marathon)! I also want to try and get faster & overcome my frequent running mental blocks

  • Favorite place to run: The lake front or around Lincoln Park

  • Upcoming races: Big 10 10k (go bucks!), (probably) Life Time half in the fall, Chicago

  • Previous Races: 3 half marathons (Nationwide half in Columbus in 2016 and 2017, Cap City (also Cbus) in 2018)

  • Funny running memory / story: I used to hate running and would have nightmares about running the mile in middle school. I also hid in the locker rooms during track so I feel like I’ve grown!! :)

  • Anything else you'd like to share! This is my first summer in Chicago & I’m taking all the bucket list recommendations!!! Thank you in advance! I can’t wait to meet everyone :)
