1. What got you into running?

I've had a hot and cold relationship with running most of my life. I was a walker in gym class and it wasnt until I was in high school I ever ran a mile straight. I got the itch to run and began going to OCRs about once a month until I started powerlifting. I stopped running completely and wouldnt run consistently again until I decided I wanted to do a marathon. The past 2 years not a week has gone by where I havent run.

2. Why did you join BRC?

I am an intrinsically motivated runner so I never imagined I would want to be part of a run club, but when my Father In Law started attending BRC it raised the intrest for my household to attend. After coming about 6 weeks we enjoyed it so much it became a non negotiable for our schedule.

3. If you could share any fact about yourself what would it be?

I finished my Aggie Ring Dunk in 12 seconds

4. Who is your running inspiration?

4. Andy Glaze. When I got into running he started populating on my feed, and now I cant get enough of this lunatic. "Smile or your doing it wrong" his motto changes my mood on a dime while im out on a long run.

Come celebrate America's 250th birthday at the Firecracker 5k on July 4th at Century Square! Post-race party will include beer and watermelon! 🍉 🍻

Running is more than putting one foot in front of the other, it’s about community and belonging.

This pride month, Brazos Runners Club wants to reaffirm our commitment to creating welcoming spaces for all runners. We celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and want to wish everyone a happy pride month.

No matter whether you’ve been running one day or 100 days, we are glad you’re here. ❤️
