About Julie
I’m just another girl on the run! Actually, if you really care to know, I’m a 23 y/o scorpio who lives in Myrtle Beach, SC. I moved here a little over a year ago from Northeastern PA where I grew up and went to college. I decided I needed a climate change and the beach sounded good to me! By day, I do email marketing for a lot of the hotels and golf courses in Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas.
I’ve always enjoyed sports, particularly soccer, and I played until my sophomore year of college at King’s College in Wilkes Barre, PA (Div 3 school). I took a sports hiatus to work an almost-full-time job my sophomore year, but missed being on a team sport A LOT so my junior year, rather than go back to the soccer team and beg for forgiveness for taking a year off, I saw a flyer for the women’s cross country team on campus and figured, “What could be easier than putting one foot in front of the other?” Though my opinion on running has definitely changed, I haven’t looked back since and I’m loving every running step I take!
I’m currently training for my first marathon which will take place at the Steamtown Marathon on October 11, 2009 in Scranton PA. I am shooting for a 3:40, which will qualify me for the 2012 Boston Marathon! I am also signed up for the Disney marathon on January 10, 2010, but will be running that one purely for fun! From there, we’ll see where the road leads me!
Thanks for following me along my runs. Please feel free to leave some love! <3 XoXo Julie
