About Me: I am a mom to 12yr old and 9yr old girls. I started running for real 10 years ago to lose baby weight and to have some "me" time. I started with a half marathon and moved into the full with a goal "just to finish". I've made some great friends along the way who make every run a fun adventure, not to mention everyDAY that way too! I qualified for Boston at the Hamilton Marathon 2010, along with my husband Aaron. I have since moved on to race a bunch of ultra trail races including the Oil Creek 100k, numerous half Ironmans and this past summer I completed the Muskoka Ironman (which was a goal I promised to myself long ago for the year I turned 40). My goal for the next little bit is to simply enjoy running!
