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 Team Crossing Finish Line at Rouge-Orleans

Runners are more than people who run.  Runners are family.  Whether it is people that you see on a consistent basis or those you’ve met through social media, runners are family.  Runners readily encourage one another, help one another, give advice to one another, basically, do whatever it takes to help one another succeed.  I have never heard a runner shout at another, “Go ahead, stop.  You don’t need to cross that finish line.”  So, if you need some encouragement, get in with a group of runners!
