Interesting Story
I quit running for almost 10 years before taking to the roads again in 2017 to chase after some unfinished business. A lot changed over 10 years... the biggest change, the creation and formation of Team D'Amato!

Favorite Running Memory
1. Crossing the finish line at the Chevron Houston Marathon and my family catching me in their arms; 2. Crossing the finish line at the World Championship Marathon in 2022 and Sara Hall and Emma Bates catching me in their arms. (I need a lot of catching, apparently.)
