Hey there, My name is Sujaa.

I live in Westford MA with my husband Raghu, two sons Vishal & Rithvik and our dog Max. I work at the Broad Institute, a non-profit research organization. Some of the things I enjoy most are - a good cup of coffee, traveling, and hiking, more so if it can be combined with the company of friends and family. I love playing board games, from Clue to Carom, and enjoy a good challenge. I took up badminton about 15 years ago and played regularly for several years.

​

I started my long-distance running journey in 2019 and mostly only ran 5Ks. I joined RHWB in January 2020 convinced by Coach Bala to give his half marathon program a try. I have since then completed 2 Half Marathons in 2020 and 2 Full Marathons in 2021 through this program- all virtual- the most recent being the 125th Boston Virtual Marathon. I never thought I would get hooked on running and now hope to participate in real races going forward. I’m thankful to continue this one activity regularly through Covid times.

​

S7 will be my fifth season as a runner in RHWB and my second season as Assistant Coach. I look forward to another exciting season helping other runners realize their goals.
