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.

Great day today! I went up to watch the Huntsville half marathon. I met up with Kam and Angie at mile 21. They were looking good and holding on strong. Angie was leading the women's and Kam was in third place at that time. Helped pace for the last 5 miles. Kam ended up finishing in second overall in I believe just under 3 hours. Angie took the women's title in around 3:02 (unofficial). It was great weather today and fun to see everybody out. 9 Miles total today with an AP of 7:30.

Saucony Kinvara Miles: 9.00
