Runner Profile - Hilary Slover

Hi Runners,

And happy Tuesday; today I would like to introduce one of our runners, Hilary Slover:

Hilary is 23, and she is currently in graduate school for Applied Social Psychology at Loyola University. She works as a research assistant on projects dealing with drug offenders on probation and the Mental Health Court in Illinois. She also teaches indoor cycling and leads a running class at the school gym (amazing!) Wheile she was an undergraduate, she started running as a way to try and lose weight. She signed up for her first big race in 2008, the Minnie Marathon 15k. She was hooked after that! She loves to run in races, with the crowd of people as her motivators along the way. Running is always a mental challenge for Hilary, and she always feels exceptionally accomplished after a long run because she has to be so strong-minded to get through it. She joined RVA's team because she feels this is an amazing organization that deserves support. So many girls have been through such traumatic events, and showing them love and support through what Hilary does well makes such a difference in their lives! Way to go, Hilary, and welcome to team Running Against Rape!!!
