I started running in 2016 after a bad breakup, I needed something to bring me back to life. Fast forward 10 years and I’m closing in on my 50th half marathon, I’ve run 5 marathons and 2 ultras! All while balancing the ups and downs of life and the fun health drama that can sometimes come with it. 

I’ve never run a sub 2 half or a BQ, would I like to? Sure! Do I see it in the cards right now? Nope! Am I ok with that? Yes! There’s more to running than being fast, and while I would love to work towards bigger goals someday, right now the accomplishment for me is simply waking up and getting to run. 

Mental health is spoken about a lot in regard to running, “running is my therapy!” … sound familiar? 😅 well I’ve learned lately that running cannot be solely responsible for keeping my mental (and physical) health in check. I’ve got anxiety like no body’s business and have gained more weight in the last 2 years than I’m comfortable with. But trying to find a doctor that will listen to me has taken forever! Just because you lead a healthy lifestyle doesn’t automatically mean you’re in perfect health! 

So my goal is to be more open and honest on this platform so that my content finds more people like me: regular runners with regular lives. People that have a lot going on, people with health stuff, people without health stuff but they don’t have any motivation, mental health friends, anyone and everyone that can relate to just being a human in whatever weird timeline we’ve fallen into.

I’m currently training for my 48th half marathon in April, while balancing all kinds of fun doctor’s appointments, a full time job and a semblance of a social life! 

The journey to 10k starts today!
