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....

Lisa, Dan, Me and Linda

Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.  -- T. Alan Armstrong


I ran the trails at Sam Houston Jones State Park for the second time yesterday.  I was glad to have along some friends:  Dan’s friend, Lisa; Dan Duncan; and Linda Canning.  This was Lisa’s and Dan’s first trail run.  I am enjoying the trail runs.  It is so peaceful and the forest sounds are my music.  The experts advise that you run as much as you can on the terrain you will be racing on.  That’s why I’m running the trails.  I appreciate the trail support.

I’m still finding it difficult to fit in the extra miles with my work and family obligations.  But, I have my eyes on the prize!!!
