Caroline Bauer's introduction to the world of running began after college, when she signed up for a women’s 4 miler in Charlottesville, VA with some friends from work. The race ended up going very well and she surprised herself by placing in her age group. Curious to see how far she could take her running, she has since completed many 5Ks, 10Ks, 10 milers, and half marathons. In 2010, Caroline ran her first marathon and fell in love with the distance and the training. Going forward, her goals are to continue to improve her times while maintaining her passion and enjoyment in running. And, if her trail running friends can convince me, she may even try her hand at a 50K some day!
