Allison met Anna about a year ago at Fleet Feet and bonded over their shared interest in running.

Anna began running at a young age by doing a one-mile loop in her neighborhood while building connections with neighbors. In college, she continued running and joined a soccer team despite having little prior experience. She always had the goal of running a half marathon but kept postponing it. However, after encountering a 50-mile runner during a vacation, she decided to sign up for a half marathon and fell in love with running during her training. Her goal now is to do one race per month, with a focus on half marathons before eventually attempting a marathon.

Anna emphasized the importance of encouraging others during difficult parts of a race, sharing how cheering for fellow runners gave her a second wind during her half marathon. She suggested that focusing on encouraging others can help shift your mindset away from the difficulty of the race and lead to a more positive experience.
Anna shared valuable advice for new runners, emphasizing the importance of making running fit into your routine and finding a running style that works for you. She also highlighted the significance of taking care of oneself and being a good steward of one's body. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to volunteer at races and praised the ease of volunteering at events.
