Hey everyone! My name is Connor and I live in Santa Monica.

I grew up playing sports, but I never considered myself a “runner”. That changed towards the end of 2022 when I signed up for the 2023 LA Marathon on whim, having never run more than 4 miles continuously in my life. Even though it started as a bit, I was able to complete the training block and finish the race in March, falling in love with the sport in the process.

My goals this year are to run the Rock n Roll half marathon (San Diego) in June, then run my second marathon at the end of the year.

Up to this point running has been a solo venture, so I’m looking forward to connecting with other runners and creating a community. I hope to meet you all very soon!
