About the Author

Gillian Myers

Hi, I'm Gillian! I'm a middle to back of the pack road runner from Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. You'll usually find me running with the Mill City Running Race Team throughout the week with my husband and our rescue mutt Poppy. I find joy in all distances from the 5K to a marathon of which I have trained for 3 but only run 1 (it's a long story). When not at my regular desk job or outside, I'm behind the screen as Admin for RunToTheFinish! You can also find me on Instagram @gileigh
