About Me

Triathlons, Running and sports in general have taught me that the pursuit of a passion matters more than the passion itself. Immerse yourself in something deeply and with heartfelt intensity - continually improve, never give up - this is fulfillment, this is success.I run to see how far I can go. I run because if I didn't, I'd be sluggish and glum and spend too much tome on the couch. I run to breath the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run because ti tatkes too long to walk and I have things to do. I run because it takes me where I want to go. Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must - never give up!A fighting spirit. It's knowing what you belive in and being willing to work for it. It's the courage to make changes in yourself and the world around you. Sometimes it means being a little bit stubborn (in the nicest way). Because there's nothing like the power of a feisty woman!

Running

I don’t particularly like it...running that is.  I mean, I like to run when it’s 5-10 miles, but anything past that just seems to be tough and somewhat ’torturous’.  ...
