Liz Runs Reston

because Reston can't run itself

about me

Here it is! A little blurb about who I am and all that jazz.

I’m 28 living in Northern Virginia. I work full time in a parks and recreation department (and yes, it is just like the show!) and have too many part time jobs - I teach diving lessons at 2 rec centers, teach private swimming lessons, and coach a high school dive team. I like running, fashion, shopping, personal fiance (out of necessity - the shopping), photography, potato chips, listening to music, playing music, boys with guitars, pretending to be a model for Jenny and Julian.

I’m 5’8 and a healthy weight (128 +/- 2 lbs). I do talk about calorie cutting short term, but it’s all in pursuit of athletics and getting to my fastest weight! (the lighter you are, the faster you are - to a point. It’s a balance between being light enough to go faster and strong enough to run fast) I haven’t always been healthy - I have been lazy and chubby, I have been sick and too skinny. Running gives me something else to control to take my mind off how I think I look. It also makes me look and feel amazing - so it’s WIN/WIN!

I live in a great house in the same neighborhood as my parents. I have one long term roommate and some turn over with the other, but it keeps life interesting. My nephew, Rowan, means the world to me.

Pretty much, that’s it! If you want to know anything else, just ask!
