Let the fun begin and lets get these races started! After my break into Ultra running last year I have grown tremdously. Not only in my running ability but in my mental stability. Who knows, maybe that comes with age, but I think running and running a lot has helped me in every aspect of my life. I am calmer, I am a wise user of my time and I have learned to not care so much about a spotless house. If it was spotless, with how much I run, I couldn't spend all the valuable time needed doing fun stuff with my three greatest gifts and best friends, my children. I often get asked how I do it. How do you work a full time job, raise children and be a good wife all while running 40 to 60 miles per week?! Well let me tell you. ... I do not know what shows are on tv, I wake up or go to bed at ungodly hours sometimes, I use my kids sports practice times as my sport practice time, if I can not make it to a trail, I will run the road and most importantly I have made it a priority, but definitely not my # 1. That would be my family. Family always first!
The real reason for this post is to announce my race schedule, which I am super excited for. I recently became an ambassador for Ultra Adventures and I am ready to race the beautiful races of the Grand Circle. I have big races and big goals and can't wait to see what happens!

Lots of races, but racing is fun for me. I am not the fastest and I know it, but it is not about winning the race it is about winning the battle in my head and using this machine, called my body, to overcome obstacles and battles most will never experience. Cheers to happy racing!
