Races and Bling!

I started my running journey in 2009 as a whim to check running a half marathon off my bucket list.  I was told once by a trainer that I was not a runner and I should just forget that idea all together.  2 trainers later.  I ran my first half marathon, starting from not being able to even run a mile!  As you can see I proved that trainer wrong!  Don't ever let anyone tell you, you cannot do something! Work hard and be the best you can be!
