Hi all, I’m Peter! I currently live in northern New Jersey but I’m hoping to move down to the DMV in the next 12-18 months. My first time in DC was visiting friends in 2012 and I immediately fell in love with the city and area, and since then I’ve been hell-bent on moving down after graduating college and getting a few years of post-grad career experience.
I started running in summer 2021 (👋 hi, Covid) and fell in love with it. I’ll be in DC for the Cherry Blossom 10 (my first official race other than some local 5Ks) and I look forward to meeting many of you, either on the course or at the post-race bash.
City: Pompton Lakes, NJ
Running goal: Endurance (and eventually a marathon).
Favorite place to run: Quiet, sleepy neighborhood streets (major bonus points if it’s a lake community).
Upcoming Races: Cherry Blossom 10 miler
Previous Races: local 5Ks (and a few of the Ten Sisters 5Ks in Dewey Beach, DE!)
Funny running memory / story: don’t make fun of me, but… my first two pairs of running shoes were Allbirds Tree Dashers 😅 (Don’t worry, I have real shoes now).
Favorite running picture: I look like your dad who just said “Take my picture with this cool truck I like!”

Anything else you'd like to share: I’m a big believer in networking (but not just professionally). So, when I first heard about Endorphins a year ago (thanks, Bridie’s TikToks) I started following the group and some of the DC peeps hoping that, by the time I move and officially become a DC local, I’ll know the group and some members so that my moving to a whole new city would be just a bit less scary!
