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....

Saturday morning's long run was such a relief from the hot humid Saturday mornings of the past.  It rained!!! For my entire 18 mile run, the Lord favored me with raindrops.  Just so you know that the body doesn't always do what the mind tells it, the water on Bank Street was higher than ankle deep.  As I was running down the middle of Bank Street, I kept telling myself to get on the sidewalk.  Did I???? NOOOOOO!!!!!!  I just kept on telling myself that I was practicing for the maybe rain at the MS50!  I'm not so nervous about it raining during that race now!
