About Me


I am an overachiever. I worry about the little things. I am a perfectionist. I'm honest and straightforward. If you don't like honesty, we're not going to work out, I'm sorry.
I am a runner. I run. A LOT. I like it. No, that's a lie. I love it. I am healthy, as a resort. It irritates MANY people, but it rocks...I plan to run forever.
