Trail and adventure enthusiast who started on the roads and won't give up my 5:30 am road runs with my neighborhood posse, including my husband. Girl who swears like a sailor but not when she's teaching Sunday School. Self-employed, primarily working for Clif Bar and Company. Eight 100 mile race finishes with five top 3 placements.

Full bio after the jump: 

Age: 36

Occupation: Running/Sports Marketing Consultant

Relationship Status: Married (happily!)

City:  Columbus, OH

How many years running:  16

Why you run in one sentence:  To learn the lessons that can only be taught by the woods.

Goals for 2012:  Top 3 finish at the Vermont 100 in July. Possibly trying for another sub 3:20 marathon this fall. Figuring out my long-term plan for “getting to next” from here.

Long-term running goals:  Winning a 100 mile trail race; placing in the top 10 women at the Western States 100; Badwater. Yes, I said it. Badwater.

Interesting non-running fact about me:  I teach traditional Sunday School but firmly believe that faith and spirituality are just as real as “religion.”

I’d like to add:  I am an ethical vegetarian. I get plenty of protein and my running didn’t suffer a bit. And yes, I totally picked Clove because I’m a big, 36 year old grown up who LOVES “The Hunger Games.”
