Mountain Adventurer with An Ultra Running Problem
San Diego, CAPet cats, try hard, travel far, preferably self-powered, rinse, repeat
Yo! My name is Alyssa and I am a professional trail runner but all around mountain lover. While I mainly focus on trails, I also love to dabble in any mountain sports that come my way and hope to continue building these skill sets for the future. I currently live in San Diego with my husband and two cats names Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute. I am also a coach, podcaster and am learning the brand and athlete management side of the sport.
