About

Hello Everybody!!

I’m Julianne. A twenty something living in and running around NYC.

I grew up in “upstate” New York and went to college even further upstate! After college I moved to NYC where I began working in online marketing. Although I’ve always been pretty active, I found myself getting lazy! So, to give myself a goal to works towards, I signed up for my first half marathon.

Now, this may not sound like a lot. I had competitively played tennis, swam, rowed, and even competed in a few triathlons. But, let’s call a spade a spade, I was no runner. Anytime I really tried to run I would get wicked shin splints and would just start hurting.

So, for me to sign-up to run 13.1 miles was A LOT.

In addition, I’m widely competitive. If I’m going to train and run a race I want to do the best as I can possibly do. (If I pass a lot of people along the way, even better!)

Long story short, race day came and went. I survived! And ever since that first race, I’ve been hooked!

Fun Facts (kinda..)

– I love eating, probably a little more so than what is normal. I’ll try anything once. The spicier the better.

– My favorite color is yellow, although my friends believe it’s really purple and I haven’t accepted it yet.

– Puppies! Nothing else needs to be said

– I hate going to the movies. I’d much rather watch something at home, on the couch, where I can talk, pause, and fall asleep without feeling guilty.

– I can’t spell and I hate it when people correct my grammar (passive aggressive warning for my future blogging endeavors 🙂
