I don't know if I've really been influenced by just one person. My family, especially my mom, sisters, and grandparents, my coaches Mark Wetmore and Jason Drake, my friends from Duluth, and my teammates here in Boulder have always supported and encouraged me. I've been fortunate to be positively influenced my many people. I definitely think that training at altitude helps me. When I go down to sea level I feel amazing.
Boulder is filled with talented runners.
There are so many it would be impossible to list them all. The number of post graduate athletes are unbelievable. But to be honest, for right now, I'm just doing most of my training with my teammates. Although we get assigned different paces for workouts, we are on the same schedule and we all work well together. I have three All-American honors.
