THIS IS MY RUNNING JOURNEY
let me help you start yours
Home: Welcome
Exploring the world with your own 2 feet
Running has allowed me to explore and experience so many different landscapes. From the rocky coastlines of Maine to the deserts of Nevada, I love it all. The local woods feel like a second home to me. I'm so grateful I have the ability to move in the awe-inspiring outdoors. Super thankful for the role running has played in my family life.
Heartfelt thanks to Dan O'Brien for letting me use his original music, "Domestic Bliss" for this video. Mary Phillipuk created the video- thank you, Mary, I appreciate you! A final thank you to Aaron Burt for chasing me around Mountain Lakes for the running footage.
