Hello Running Buddy!


Younger me would have laughed at you if you suggested I’d become a runner. My dad was a runner my entire life, and I was NOT. I tried jogging with him a couple times in high school and lasted about 3 blocks.  I never would have thought that in my 40s I’d absolutely fall in love with running.

Running has become a part of my daily and weekly routines.

So this? It’s everything I know about running.  Everything I love about running.  It’s everything that helped me become a runner (and all my favorite things about it).


While I had always jogged, for years it was never longer than three or four miles.  Until my friends surprised me and signed me up for a 10k race (that’s a little over 6 miles). 

I’m not going to lie, I was nervous.  But with a good training plan, and the right running gear……

I ran my first 10k. 

Then on to a half marathon, a bunch more 10ks, one of the hardest trail runs in the US and next up for me? A marathon.

current favorite races I have completed

I’ve been lucky enough to run a few of the Disney 10k, half marathons and a few other races. These are my top 3 that I absolutely recommend!
