I live in Bucktown with my husband, daughter, and our two cats. I love exploring the area, trying new restaurants, and cheering on the local sports teams (Go Illini!). My obsessions: coffee, cookies, pizza, wine, and RUNNING! When not enjoying time with family and friends, I’m most likely running (on the Lakefront Path, the 606, or on the Trails!).
My motto: The goal is greater than the fear; the fear of the distance, of the pain, of the unknown, the goal has to win over the fear.
My favorite quote: “If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.”
~ Tom Hanks, A League of Their Own
