Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

Hi Allie- I am very much looking forward to next year. I have a feeling it will be a good running year for me:) I hear the WRC courses are really tough. Last years WRC half was pretty competitive with good runners. So this year will be too!

Hi Burt- I know you love women, I also know you like to dress up as them. It is no secret you love those darn panny hose:) How are the toilet workouts going?
