Running is a huge portion of my life; it is stress relief, a social outlet, and a way for me to challenge myself to be better.  Better not only means chasing PRs (although that’s a big motivator), but helping and encouraging others to join and love my sport and become better themselves.  Through coaching and volunteering with running clubs, I love helping others see their potential and believe in themselves. This year I am organizing the running club at our elementary school and we have over 200 kids running!

I started running later in life after having my 2 sons, thinking that a marathon would be something to check off my bucket list and then go back to normal life.  But lucky for me that didn’t happen 🙂 After I finished, my next goal was a BQ, then a New York City Marathon qualifying time, and somewhere along the line I threw in a 70.3 and an ultra to see if I could do it.  I’m always looking for my next challenge and to push myself past my limits.

My approach to training not only includes running, but also strength training and mobility.  I believe that runners not only need to run, but do some work outside of running to become their best.  It helps prevent injury and makes you faster!  I'm not talking about getting bulky and spending hours in the gym, but running focused moves that can be included in your schedule.
