If you want to do something in your life you've never done, you'll have to do what you've never done.

About Me

I am a wife and mother of three. I started running in December 2009 after watching the Biggest Loser finalists run a marathon. I joined GoRun, a running group in Lake Charles, LA, to train for a marathon. In January 2011, I ran the Chevron Houston marathon, my very first marathon. Since then, I have run several marathons and numerous half marathons. In February 2011, I ran the Rouge-Orleans as a member of a six-person team. As we would meet the solo runners, members of my team would comment how crazy the solo runners were. However, in my mind I kept thinking that I could do that with the right training. After talking with my running coach, we set up a plan so that I would run the Rouge-Orleans solo in 2015. In the meantime, I would like to do endurance races. After much research, I determined to do the Mississippi 50-miler as my official first ultra race. (In 2013 I'm doing Rouge-Orleans as a three-person team.) Thus starts my journey....

My Heartbeats - Douglas, Tiffany and Brayden

Lesson One (for me):  You have to be flexible with your running schedule.  Those who know me know that I’m a very rigid person.  If I have a schedule that tells me to do things on certain days and at certain times, I become agitated when I can’t get those things done.  I’m only in my second week of training for the MS-50 and I already have to move around my running schedule.  This because my husband dares to ask me to go to a family reunion in North Louisiana this Saturday when I have 18 miles to run!!  All of my training runs this week have to be moved up a day which means that I will be doing the 18 miles on Friday after I get off of work and getting up early Saturday to do 5 miles before we leave.  Breath in, breath out!!!  It will be okay.  I will get my mileage in and make my husband happy!
