Running

A distance runner all my life, I now fully embrace my status as a back-of-the-middle-of-the-pack masters marathoner. I’m slowing down, but enjoying it more, and am grateful for every day that I can lace up and get outside. Marathoning has been a great way to see the country, and so far I’ve completed a full marathon in 20 of the 50 states.

I’m always looking for my next adventure, so if you know of a good local race in a state I haven’t ticked off my list yet, I’d love to hear about it!
