Started RunningIn 2011! My first mile was this last March with the marathon training class. My goal was to finish the Missoula marathon before the course closed and I reached my goal and am an official marathon finisher!

Favorite RunSome of my favorite runs have been the RWM Saturday Breakfast Runs at the Runners Edge. And, of course, the Beer Runs, Light the Way 5k, and the Diva Run (never mind – I just helped with that!).

What Motivates You To RunAll of the runners in our running community and food.

What Do You Like To Do Outside of Running? I enjoy swimming

Favorite Quote: Just do it! This really gets me out there for a run!

Anything Else You Would Like To AddI’m grateful to my Missoula running family and for the Runners Edge for making me look my best while running!
