Hii! My name’s Karlie 💞 I’m a 26-year-old middle school English teacher who found her passion for running a little under a year ago. I ran track & field pretty loosely and just for fun in high school, but didn’t really keep up with it afterward. I got back into it through close friends who are also runners, and the Nike After Dark Half Marathon really pushed me to take it seriously (mostly because of the FOMO from not joining lol).
Outside of running, you can usually find me at a Lagree class, teaching, or doing homework 😅 Fun fact: I’m currently in grad school at LMU pursuing my Master’s in Counseling with my LPCC certification…Staying busy keeps me sane 🫣
Running has taught me so much about myself, introduced me to some incredible people I now call my best friends, and pushed me to prioritize my well-being. For that, I’m beyond thankful. Moving my body is something I truly cherish, and this relay is just another stepping stone in pushing myself to my limits and continuing to grow.
If you made it this far, ty for reading!! xoxo
Karlie 🤍
