Amber started running in 2017 when she joined a group gym to train for a Spartan race after losing about 100 pounds. She wanted to work towards a new goal since my weight loss goal had been met and I wanted to keep myself from gaining it all back like she had several years before. It was then that she fell in love with obstacle course racing. She is working on a PhD is in social psychology and finds herself constantly digging for the psychology in all things running.
