I started my journey in September 2004.  I joined a gym to lose some weight but didnt really know how things worked so I got on the treadmill and decided I would run as long as I could.  I ended up running 1.4 miles.  I was amazed and right then decided I would train for a 5k which I ran in November.  After that a 15k in March and then started marathon training in October 2005.  It was a snowball effect that hasnt slowed down.   I ran my 1st marathon in February 2006 and now have a total of 15 marathons, 1 was an ultra marathon.   In between all that I have a few triathlons mixed in there too.
 
I love running & biking trails!  It makes me feel like I'm a kid again!

I live in a great running/workout community so it makes working out very easy because there is always someone that will be glad to join you.

I never really thought of myself as a runner and always wondered why my experiences would help someone else....I know now I am a runner and I really enjoy helping other people find out that they are too!
