Our BibRave Pros are a team of awesome run blogger who run the best races and test the latest products. We asked each of our Pros to answer a few questions about themselves, their running history and their favorite gear! If you have any comments or additional questions, let them know below!

Why I like being a BibRave Pro… I like meeting the Pros and making new friendships!
Two goals on the horizon for me are: I am not a goal person, but rather I look for the challenge. Maybe in 2018 I set a new marathon PR? Someday I’d also like to run 50 miles.

Great to read about you, Angie! You can definitely do 50 miles! I’ve always looked up to you as a person & runner. I love how detailed you are with your PR’s! I should start a spreadsheet. Now I’m thankful to have Athlinks to tell me my PR’s due to my lack of note-taking ;P
