6 years ago, I decided to do something outside of my comfort zone, took some chances, and hoped for the best.

Nine years ago, I ran my first ultra. Now, the challenge of being a new mom is exhilarating and sometimes daunting. Our community has been essential. The need for patience is ever-present. I still love the sport. My current ultra-just looks different right now…
