I started running in 2011. I wanted to lose weight and improve my health and quickly became hooked. After I completed many 5K races, I ran a 10K, and then last year my first half marathon. If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would do that, I never would have believed them. Now, I can’t imagine my life without running.

I have learned so much from Runner’s World magazine and I wanted access to as much content as possible. I really enjoy being part of the running community.

It keeps me sane, helps me relax, and makes me happy.

All around my little town of 3,800.

Brooks shoes. They always fit perfectly right out of the box and give me the support and cushioning I need.

I’m teaching myself to speak French. My dream is to travel to Paris, hopefully later this year.

To run another half marathon.
