There was a time I thought I would never be a wife, mom, or marathon finisher. Apparently the joke was on me.
At 35, I ran my first half marathon and shortly after met the man of my dreams. I got married at 38, had my first child at 39, second at 43 and finished my first marathon at 50.
Residing in the Atlanta Georgia area, I am a wife and mom of an middle school daughter and of my son, an angel who soars in heaven. As a native, I love the ATL and enjoy discovering new places. Theme Parks, Beach, Mountains, Sun or Snow – I LOVE VACATIONS!
I have never considered myself athletic though I have completed 9 half marathons and one full marathon. A mid to back of pack Galloway interval style runner, I run for my health and for some “me” time. While not the fastest runner and focused on my health, I do have a particular set of skills – I have fun at races!
A graduate of Georgia Tech, I work as an Independent Travel Agent. I volunteer with the PTA and am a Girl Scout Leader. My career background includes Internet Product Development Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager of Licensed Products, Inside Sales Manager Promotional and Premium Products, Accounts Payable Manager and Preschool Teacher. Some days I do miss my cubicle and the office coffee talk/
I love movies, musicals and music – all kinds. If the TV is on, I am probably watching Game of Thrones or binging on Netflix.
I am just taking life as it comes trying to find my happy pace in all things.
Join me in my quest.
