I grew up in Rhode Island, went to college in Virginia (Sweet Briar), spent 8 years in Lewisburg, WV, where I fell in love with the mountains, and then in August 2016 I moved to Abingdon, VA. In August 2017 I met Coby, and we were married in July 2018.
I teach Spanish to Pre-K through 8th grade at a small private school. I am a NASM certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Nutrition Specialist. I had plans to use these certifications, but they got put on the back burner with the frenzy of wedding planning and being a step-mom. I do teach a strength training class to my co-workers at school, and still hope to expand my business someday.
Half Marathons are my favorite race distance, and I am currently working towards finding out exactly how fast I can run this distance. The eventual goal is to get below 1:25, but my current PR is around 1:28. I have found that endurance training is what best helps me get faster, so I ran my 3rd marathon in June 2017 as part of my half marathon PR training. I was much more successful at preparing for that one than I was for my first two and actually "enjoyed" it, so I then set my eye on Boston. I qualified at Pittsburgh in May 2018, and ran Boston in April 2019. Three marathons in 3 years put my half marathon goals on the back burner, but now that Boston is over I am looking forward to focusing on halves again!
