I often tell people that I stumbled accidentally into the world of running. I was walking daily and one day decided I wanted to go a little bit faster. But "I'm not an athlete" and previous attempts at things like Couch to 5k had been disastrous. But as I looked at run-walk intervals I decided I could do anything for 10 seconds, and I did! As I improved I set a goal of participating in the Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend in 2024. Along the way I discovered a new passion, a remarkable community and the absolute best version of myself! 

With each new thing I accomplished I discovered even more things that made me say "oh I could never..." I am guessing you know how that has gone, so now it is time for another! I am beyond delighted to be able to begin my "Fabulous Forties" by using all of this to help others and join so many people I admire as a "charity runner" with Team Fired Up!
