Big congrats to our Member of the Month, Hazel!🏅 hz 🌻

Hazel is a longtime BARC member whose commitment to
her own training is obvious to anyone who meets her. She is constantly pushing herself in multiple sports while maintaining a positive attitude and a vision for future accomplishments. She brings an authentic, down-to-earth presence to the group, and her sense of humor makes BARC runs even more enjoyable! We are so lucky to have Hazel as part of the Crew 🎉

1. What is your favorite part about being a member of the Bay Area Run Crew?
BARC brings together a community of runners who share a passion for being active. Everyone brings good vibes and the crew always inspires me to train harder. I also appreciate the leaders for organizing weekly events that allow us to discover different routes and trails across the Bay Area.

2. What is your biggest running accomplishment, and why is it important to you?
I am incredibly proud of training for and completing my first marathon last fall. Training required a level of discipline I hadn’t exercised in quite some time. The experience pushed me well beyond my perceived mental and physical limits.

3. What are some of your future running goals?
My primary goals are to train consistently, prevent injury, and have fun. I always have a series of side quests to keep myself engaged and motivated: by the time this is posted, I will have finished my first sprint triathlon, and I would love to train for longer distances. I am also running the NYC Marathon this fall! It’ll be my first World Major, and it’ll be even more special since I grew up in NYC.

4. What tips would you like to share with the rest of the Crew?
As a slow runner, my favorite mantra is “Forward is a pace.” Whether you are a new or experienced runner, remembering this helps you show up on the hard days, encourages inclusivity for all paces, and reminds us to be less critical of ourselves. Life is too short to take yourself too seriously!
