About me

Hi! My name is Alannah Faith, and I am a college student with a passion for running and writing. I am so excited that you are here and I can’t wait to run life’s race alongside you! Here’s a little more information about me:

• I have grown up in the church and I can’t imagine what my life would be like without my faith—It’s my main source of inspiration and the thing that keeps me going.

• I will attend Corban University this fall, where I will double major in clinical kinesiology and biomedical science on a pre-physical therapy or pre-medical track. In the past, I experienced many health-related setbacks that now make me passionate about medicine and inspire me to help others.

• At Corban, I also signed to run cross-country and track.

• In middle and high school, I ran six years of cross-country and track for the small private school from which I graduated. I’ve also done two half marathons, and I used to swim for a club team. Running and athletics have taught me so much over the years, and ultimately, they’ve strengthened my faith in the challenges that they’ve brought.

• As a writer, I seek to use my words to glorify my Creator and point my readers to Christ. I was the head editor of my online prep school’s newspaper, and I’ve been published on The Rebelution. I hope that my articles will inspire my generation to turn to the freedom that is found only in God’s grace and love. I also love to tell stories—If you sat down and had a conversation with me over coffee, chances are, you’d hear at least a few random stories from my life!

• I was born and raised in San Diego, but I will be attending college in Oregon this fall!

• I’m a perfectionist, I’m overly competitive at times, I struggle with anxiety… I’m definitely a work in progress, but that makes me so incredibly grateful for God’s grace.

• I love sunrises, winding mountain roads, oceans, star-filled nights, city lights (didn’t mean to rhyme there), flowers and succulents and pine trees… I love exploring this beautiful world and seeing all that it has to offer.

• In my spare time, you can find me reading a book, chatting with or messaging friends, enjoying the beauty of nature, spending time at the beach, traveling, or finding the best coffee shops.

Now, I would love to get to know you! Feel free to send me a message here, or email me at alannah@letsrunfree.com.
