I'm a twenty-something year old runner in Charlotte, NC. Originally hailing from Florida, I lived two years in Ohio before moving to the Queen City. I'm married to one of the best guys in the world, and we live with our Jack Russell Terrors, Max (aka Little Paws) and Roscoe (aka Crazy Face).I've been running off and on for 10+ years now. In high school, I dealt with a very painful (and very botched up) knee surgery that I never fully recovered from. In college I was fortunate enough to have an excellent surgeon fix me for good. I'm so lucky that I've been running pain free ever since. But because of this experience, I am so thankful for every injury-free step I take. However slow my pace may be, I'm grateful for the ability to even go for a run.
I grew up watching my Dad run ultras, but didn't truly start my own running journey until last year. In December of 2010, I ran my first half marathon and was officially addicted to running. Since then, I've run dozens of races including 3 more half marathons. In November, I ran my first marathon- the Savannah Rock 'n' Roll Marathon!
My husband and I try to lead healthy lifestyles, from the food we eat to our daily exercise. We have two crazy wonderful Jack Russell Terriers who keep us on our toes and active every single day! The four of us especially enjoy hiking in the mountains, car rides with the windows down, and sitting in front of the TV to watch the Gators play football!Oh yeah, I'm a vegetarian so I like to experiment with weird-o recipes all the time. My ever patient husband is always willing to taste-test my creations and who knows? If I concoct a real winner, I might just share the recipe with you all!
