About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mental Health Counselor
Location Moorhead, MN, United States
Introduction I'm a wife. I'm a mom. I'm getting off the couch. Grad School, Work, 3 pregnancies in 3 years, the loss of our infant daughter, and starting a new career had prevented me taking time for myself and for fitness. In December 2010 I decided to turn myself into a runner, in spite of my self-doubt and fear of doing something new. I've caught the running bug! As of 2015, I've run 2 full marathons, 8 half marathons, and lots of 5k races. I've accepted that I'll never be a super fast runner and I've accepted that running 10 miles does not actually mean that I can eat an entire Indian buffet without gaining weight (why is life soooo unfair???).
