About

My humble beginnings as a runner started in the mid-90′s when on a whim by my co-worker, she and I decided to train for and run a marathon.   My daughter was just born and thought “what a great way to get back into shape in addition to doing something out of my comfort zone”, an experience I could cross off my “bucket list”.

Yes, my family including my husband thought I was out of my mind and basically said “Good Luck” with that!!!  Of course, I had to prove something to all of them, but once I set my mind to something I follow through.

Fast forward many years later, having run 19 marathons and over one hundred additional road races ranging from 5K’s to half marathons. I not only consider myself an avid runner, but very passionate about the sport which has become a big part of who I am, and something that I feel is important in my daily lifestyle and has helped me physically, mentally, personally and professionally.

In 2006, I expanded my running joy and passion into coaching others which has been incredibly rewarding, and helps me see running in a different perspective.  I have coached beginning runners to the so-called hard core runners running for specific goals.

I have made some amazing friends in my years of running, and now have a whole new group of people to travel to races all around the country with.  It is great having a support system of friends who share the same passion.

Happy Running!!
