FRIENDS!!! :)

this is ATV Courtney. she's dangerous. we met ? years ago, both working at *)!&^%!-ing Cambridge in Columbia, and i'm so excited that we're friends. for the first 6-ish months of our friendship, our lives were weirdly parallel w/ family and relationship stuff, and we helped each other through some really tough times. if i could pick a sister, she'd be one!


this is steve. boflex. don't ask. anyway, he's another weird person, mostly because if i hadn't moved to PA while i was in elementary school, i would have ended up going to high school with him. strange thing, huh? when we met our freshman year at UMBC, we found out that his best friend had been my best friend in third grade. luckily, he and i have OTHER things in common. really though, he's one of my best friends, and he's one person who is very honest with me. a stand-up guy.


this is kate and dom. kate is my housemate, and dom is one of her best friends and becoming a fast friend of mine too. finding kate on craigslist was the luckiest thing--we really clicked, and now we have the most fun. and she loves toby, which is very important. :) dom is a great guy, and in the first week that we knew each other, we got to be good buddies. he, like steve, is very frank, and he's really good at giving a shoulder to lean on. yay dom!



these are some of the terprunners. unfortunately, i don't know the girl in the pink top. but otherwise, it's (top row) pat, liz, alvin, erik, val, jen & nick, and (bottom row) lauren, tom & samy. when i first came out to the club, i really felt like the old lady because all of these guys are undergrads, but when we got out on our runs, it totally didn't matter, and i ended up being good friends with val and samy. with their support, i was able to rediscover my love of running, and val is absolutely so helpful with my marathon training. fantastic!
