About Me

Oh my, I really should update this…

After many years of throwing my heart into other sports (taekwondo and rugby), I returned to my roots as a runner. I completed my first marathon in September 2010, second in May 2011, and am looking forward to many more (DC Rock ‘n’ Roll marathon March 17,2012, and more in the future). My current big undertaking is training for my first iron distance triathlon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run), which is slated to be the Beach2Battleship tri in Wilmington, NC on October 20, 2012.

The taekwondo days. Just to clarify – I’m the one doing the kicking.

Ahh… Rugby. I do miss the tackling…

My best friend and me – just after crossing the finish line at my first marathon.

I live with my husband and two dogs (Jade and Rocket) in upstate NY. We all love being outside and enjoying the beautiful area in which we live.

Besides running, I love to do crafty things, organize/clean, sing and dance, and play with our dogs. My husband and I both have our own motorcycles and we enjoy going for scenic rides when the weather cooperates.

My other favorite thing (besides running) is COOKING. In 2009 I went vegetarian. In 2010, I took the next step and went vegan. Before making those transitions, I never enjoyed food or was even remotely interested in cooking. Now I am quite the foodie and vegan cook! I feel a million times better than I did before, and I love playing with my food.
