About Me

  • Running club(s):
  • Rave race:
  • Race that's calling my name:

    Ragnar Hawaii!!

  • I run because:

    I ran cross-country in high school back in 1999 (well, more like trotted) but then gave it up other than an occasional 5K for fun. I started running again after my little sister unexpectedly passed away at the beginning of 2015; it totally helped with the grief and I fell in love with the sport again. A broken femur at the end of 2016 slowed me down, but less than 6 months later I participated in my 2nd Ragnar Del Sol, completing over 10 miles! I run because it cheers me up when I need a smile, I find peace when I feel restless, I get to hang out with friends or enjoy some alone time, and my body feels so good afterward!

4/24/16 – BRAZEN RACING
The absolute best run I’ve ever participated in was my recent Save Mt. Diablo 10K Trail Run last weekend. There were luxury bus shuttles to Castle Rock Park from Northgate High School and they ran frequently. A wonderful baggage check area was well organized, and they had lots of tents set up to assist people who hadn’t picked up their packets early.

The course was beautiful with lots of hills and creek crossings. The drink/aid stations were the best part. They had all sorts of snacks, drinks, candy, treats, and even ice cold water to sponge you off if you wanted! It was amazing!

At the finish, after receiving beautiful medals, delicious It’s It ice cream was being passed out. I picked pumpkin flavor and enjoyed the sweet treat before waiting in line for some chips, popcorn, fruit, cookies and candy. There was also a plate of BBQ available for $10, but I probably would pass this up next year – the event food was better than the plate I received.

Everything about this race was perfect. It was absolutely my favorite event thanks to the great organizers and volunteers. Brazen racing is the best!
