Running – PRs & Race Reports

I love to run and am always pushing myself to get better. I ran my first half marathon in 2009 but then took a break and got back into it at the end of 2010. I did my first marathon in 2011, got into triathlons and did my first Ironman in 2012, and then went on try to qualify for Boston (3 times so far, no BQ yet). I had my daughter in 2015 and it took a while to get back into my running groove, but I’m still seeking PRs.
