I am 34 years old and live right outside the city limits of Chicago.  For the past 12 years I have worked for a disease management company for people with chronic diseases.  I love what I do and I am passionate about maintaining a healthy well-balanced life. I am a long-time team athlete, playing volleyball and softball in college, with a new found passion in endurance sporting (swim, bike, run).  The runner’s high is what got me hooked initially, and now I have been working on my form and endurance to build up to longer distance races such as HIM and hopefully an IM.  Since my first runner’s high a year ago, I’ve completed numerous 5Ks, 10Ks, 15Ks, ½ marathons and triathlons (sprint and olympic distance).  Being healthy and active is a privilege and I look forward to being part of the LIN ladies!
