I’ve always done sports with running in them, whether it was soccer, field hockey, or volleyball (Is there running in volleyball?). I started running on its own with my parents near the beginning of high school.
I started with 5km and gradually made my way up to longer distances. I still remember the first time I ran 10km, I thought to myself, Hey! This is isn’t that long. I should do a half marathon! And that’s what I did.
Now, I find myself longing for longer runs. I’m hoping to do my first marathon and 50km in 2018! Another favourite event of mine is the Multi-Grind Challenge at Grouse Mountain. Last year, I completed 6 Grouse Grinds in one day. This year, I am aiming for 10.
The reasons why I love running are simple: I love being outside, I love how it can be as easy or as hard as I want it to be, I love being able to connect with myself and others through running, and, most of all, it’s fun!
I also have a passion for protecting the environment and educating people on how their actions affect the health of the planet. I have been vegan for over 3 years for this reason, among others, and try my best to reduce the amount of plastic I use. I am the leader of the environmental club at my high school and I love being able to make a change for the better.
