Hi all! My name is Violet and I moved to Philadelphia last week! I’m super excited to run with Endorphins and have enjoyed the few meetups I’ve been to so far. My lifetime goal is to run a half marathon in every state (I’m at 4 different states and 7 total half marathons so far!). I will be signing up for the Love Run Half Marathon to check Pennsylvania off of the list. I will also be running the NYCRUNS Brooklyn Experience Half Marathon in April, and The San Fransisco Half Marathon in July. I’m looking to run a full marathon sometime this year (my first!), but haven’t decided where or when yet. I’m hoping to integrate these goals, and also continue to increase my one & two mile and 5K times.

Some of my favorite memories are with my college’s recreational run club. I was president my senior year, where I led a lot of race preparation and travel. I loved my team, and I am looking to find a similar community here! I just lived in Indianapolis for two years working my first full time job, quit to backpack Europe, spent some time in Florida with my family, and now I’m back in the full time work world as a reporter for the local NPR station, WHYY!

Looking forward to seeing you all out there! Follow my Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/48310313
