about me

I love my running community and helping each other through the difficult miles and sharing the joys and stories of the good ones too!  I have a hobby farm so get my cross training in fixing fence or throwing hay some times.   I started running in March 2017 – a coworker/friend was asking for a runner to join her Sawtooth Relay team and then specifically asked me.  I found the joy of running and the silence and also celebrations it brings along the miles and ended that race hooked. I still thank her and run with her!

2022 goals

The goal race this year is Javalina Jundred which will be my first 100 miler.  I think it would be my only but, I’ve said that about the other distances before. haha! 

Greatest Running Adventure

River of no Return 55k (2021) – It was the first time I nearly dropped. I kept pushing, found some breaking points within myself but kept on digging into that pain cave. I learned a lot about myself at that race and about not believing the limits we set on ourselves.

hobbies & passions

Animals are my passion. I work in the veterinary world and  have always been into animals. My favorite running buddy is my border collie who also has his own Garmin and Strava pages. I also ride my horse a little and am a newer mountain biker
