2016 Races

What a year of racing it has been! I honestly cannot believe I picked up running a little over four years ago. AND LOOK WHERE IT HAS TAKEN ME! Not only have I been able to see some amazing places (this year had me running from Seattle to Big Sur, Vancouver to Vegas, Napa to Utah and all over Southern California), I have met some of the coolest cats around... many of which I am honored to call FRIENDS! I am BEYOND BLESSED to have found something I LOVE to do and hope I am able to do it for many, many, MANY years to come!

Not only did I run a Boston Qualifying marathon time (a HUGE PR), but I also PR'ed my 10K and Half Marathon distances! This was an AMAZING racing year for me (even if it is ending on a painful note)! Here's to 2017 being just as FANTASTIC! 

How'd racing go for YOU in 2016?
