ABOUT ME
Compared to most runners I know, my running career started at a much later point in life. I ran my first 5K in 2011 (at the age of 24) but didn't begin running on a serious level until 2013. As a Disney fan, completing the Walt Disney World Marathon became the the key motivation behind my training. I finished The Disney Marathon in 5:43:55. When I moved to Boone, North Carolina my husband and I joined a running club that introduced us to speed play by track workouts. I dealt with multiple knee injuries and had to sit out almost an entire summer of running. Knee braces became accessories that accompanied me to every workout. I tried to keep up on the group runs but became accustomed to being dropped due to my lack of speed. In 2013 we moved to Los Angeles, California. After crossing the finish line at the Los Angeles Marathon I acquired Boston Marathon fever. In 2015 we relocated to Ventura, California. I'm still shocked today by how big of an athletic community this little town has. We belong to both running groups, Mile 26 and Inside Track, and the Rincon Triathlon Club. The accessibility to bike rides, trail runs, and a swimming pool is amazing. This area, and the friends we've made, are a great asset to help my athletic endeavors.
In 2016 I finished the Mountains 2 Beach Marathon with a Boston Qualifying time of 3:32:10. It was fast enough to earn a bib and run the 2017 Boston Marathon along side my husband. I've also re-qualified and earned a bib for the 2018 Boston Marathon with a finishing time of 3:28:34.
On the smaller scale, I've won multiple age group awards at the sprint triathlon distance, a few overall female placements at a local 5K and 10K, and a 3rd overall female placement at a local half marathon, finished a full Ironman, as well as a few 70.3 distance triathlons, and multiple ultra marathons.
My goal is to help others realize their athletic potential through functional movement. By combining mobility, strength training, and an efficient running form, whether avid runner or beginner, we can prevent injuries and have superior movement. I'm continually learning the best methods for all athletes and am sharing my knowledge coaching at The Vent: Human Performance Center in Ventura, California.
