About Me

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

    Indy monumental
  • I run because:

    I run because it’s my time alone.

    It’s where I find mental clarity and quiet in the middle of a very full life. As a mother, business owner, and homeschool mom, my days are busy and loud in the best ways—but running is where everything slows down and I can just breathe.

    Running is my peace. It’s my space to worship, to pray, to think, and to reconnect with myself. It’s where stress melts away and perspective comes back into focus.

    I also run because I love fitness. It’s a true passion of mine. Running gives me a place to challenge myself, to push my limits, and to be competitive with me—not anyone else. Every run is an opportunity to grow stronger, mentally and physically.

    It’s more than miles or race times. Running is how I show up better for my life, my family, and myself.

I’ve run the Bass Pro Fitness Series Half Marathon several times now, and it’s hands down one of my favorite races to come back to year after year. It’s the kind of event that just feels right the moment you arrive—organized, energetic, and genuinely welcoming to runners of all levels.

This race holds an especially special place in my heart because it was also my first marathon. The course is well supported, the logistics are smooth, and the atmosphere makes a tough distance feel manageable and exciting.

One of the standout parts of this race is the community support. From volunteers who truly care, to spectators who show up and cheer loud, you can feel the encouragement from start to finish. It’s motivating, uplifting, and exactly what you want when you’re pushing yourself through big miles.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, running your first half or full marathon, or just want an event that’s consistently well done and fun, the Bass Pro Fitness Series delivers every single time. It’s become a yearly tradition for me, and one I’ll keep recommending to anyone looking for a memorable race experience.
