Laura Stassi
Name: Laura Stassi, 54, Reston (Golf Course Island Cluster)
I am a: Jogger (“to move up and down or about with a short heavy motion; to run or ride at a slow trot.” I’m going to totally own it.)
I've been a Reston Runner since: I originally joined when I first moved to NoVa from Richmond in 2003 but never really got involved and let my membership lapse. I rejoined in 2014 and finally started taking it seriously in the spring.
PR (personal record): Several years ago, I ran the very hilly Charlottesville Half Marathon in just under two hours. But really, any run completed is a good run, especially with a friend.
When I'm not pounding the pavement: I’m a full-time editor and a freelance writer. Two kids: Max, 24, works for KPMG in Richmond; Cecelia, 20, is a recent transfer to Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash. I also have a mutt, and I volunteer with Martha’s Table, Food for Others and the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
Here's my little secret: Title Nine (the sportswear company). Best bra selection ever.
