In her day to day, Lainie is a Director of Development for a non-profit called Eat Real that brings nutritious, sustainable and locally sourced offerings to K-12 school meals. Besides sleeping to the max, she also loves skiing, cycling and gardening.
One of Lainie’s fondest running memories was when she ran the Florence 1/2 Marathon in Italy while studying abroad in college. In the final stretch, she was in a battle with a kind Italian runner, together sprinting as they yelled, “Vai! Go!” back and forth in encouragement while picking up speed. It was a cool moment with an international stranger, but further, a testament to the endless connection running provides, and the universally supportive community that is so special about the sport.
