Natalie Reder

Although I was born and raised in Ohio, I just moved to Chapel Hill after a brief stint in NYC. I suppose I missed my sister, who lives here, and being able to run past trees instead of traffic! Throughout college running became a way for me to deal with my emotions. I just ran until they were figured out or LET OUT. And then I started realizing, hey, I was running pretty far! Pretty soon, I had my eye on the prize….a marathon. Two pulled hamstrings and a slew of shin problems later, I accomplished that goal. It made me realize not only can you accomplish anything you set your mind to but that if I can run a marathon ANYONE can! So now I am an addict, I always have a race on my calendar and I find the longer the distance the more I enjoy it. Perhaps in the future a triathlon? If I can get over my fear of swimming….if not there’s always an ULTRA marathon! Other than running, you will see me singing (At the top of my lungs mind you, and not just in the shower), dancing (All different styles - jazz and hip hop being my favorites), cooking, expanding my wine knowledge, and digesting all kinds of music (Yes ALL kinds - classical, pop, country, R&B, rock, opera, film scores, jazz, show tunes.  I am open to anything). I am anxious to share my passion for running and life with everyone at Fleet Feet Sports!
