About

I am a runner, not an athlete.I have a son. I have red hair. I like beer. I love cake. I am married. I wish I was a singer in a rock and roll band. I snort when I laugh. I love to run with music. I am a bad speller. I lived on a boat. I used to surf. I weighted over 200lbs when I was pregnant. I had fun eating when I was pregnant. I have a terrible voice. I have run 4 marathons and 13 half marathons. I cry every time one of my students completes their first 5k. I know that physical activity can change your life. I love my job.

I have also personally coached over 100 non-runner students to run 5ks to marathons. I have co-coached Seattle Fit in 2005-07, training over 300 new runners to run or walk the Seattle Marathon. I am a Certified Personal Trainer and an RRCA Certified Running Coach. I love being a Running Coach in Seattle...it's a beautiful place to run.
