About Me

Water Street Mile & 5K; July 2014


An "on again, off again" runner, who is finally sticking it out! Dating back to my high school days, I've been on this journey of achieving goals and living healthy; never quite feeling like I've reached my full potential. In June 2014, I ran my first marathon, after running three half-marathons. I have completed a handful of 5k races, a 10k, a few 5 mile runs and even a 4 mile Brat Trot! I am learning to love different race distances, and enjoying the small, local races more and more. This will be a place I share my ups and downs, dreams, and accomplishments - about fitness and running, but also about life. I am a wife, mother, runner, teacher, daughter, sister, friend .... this is my story of running wherever life takes me.

November 2011 - my heaviest weight, 193

October 2013 - at 170 pounds with my beautiful family
 
Brat Trot - August 2014


These next two photos, with dear friends and family, were both taken in Summer 2014. I am actually able to look at these pictures and not cringe at any particular body part. I like how I look in these photos; which represents just how far this journey has brought me not just physically but emotionally.
