Veronica was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and currently resides in Plantation, FL. She works as an accountant in the private industry. Veronica joined Friends in Training in July 2003 and has run seventeen half marathons, five marathons and over twenty 5Ks since then. She has successfully completed trainings and ran races at various paces. Veronica started training with Group B (12-14 minutes per mile), advanced to group C (10:30 -12 minute pace) and now currently leads Group D (9:00 -10:30 minute pace). She is a Certified Running Coach with the Road Running Club of America (RRCA).

Veronica used to run 5Ks in her adolescence and after graduating from college she decided to look for a running group. "When I joined Friends in Training, running a marathon or half marathon was not my goal, but the training, the camaraderie and all the wonderful people that I have met in the group motivated me to pursue new goals! Running a full/half marathon takes determination, dedication and all the support from your running partners: they keep you motivated in those long training runs!" Besides running Veronica practices hatha yoga.

"Friends in Training has helped me to become a better runner and provided me with the opportunity to develop great friendships."
