Distance Running
I competed in cross country and track as an undergraduate for the Truman State University team. Though I am no longer on an official team, I still love to run long distance. I completed my first full marathon in April 2021, and I continue to train for half/full marathons and other long distance races.

One of my favorite activities to partake in when I have a few free days is backpacking. The northern half of Michigan has many great locations for backcountry camping. I also often tack on some extra days for backpacking when I attend conferences or go observing at telescopes.
