Whidbey Island Marathon 4.15.12




It's been 3 years since I've run the Whidbey Island Marathon and my oh my it was an absolutely beautiful and exhilerating day and race.
It was super exciting to meet first time marathoners and hear their stories, Teresa!
The winding hills that would not stop and the beautiful scenery was spectacular and energizing.


I finally remembered to wear my Maniac tank top! I run to be focused, strong, healthy, positive and to reach my goals and it's about putting one foot in front of the other..... it doesn't matter how fast or slow I go so long as I go and I may not be the first to cross the finish line but it's really about believing in myself and others. Running helps me to face the world with a positive attitude and arms wide open to embrace whatever comes my way.


Next up-Pittsburgh Marathon in May, looking forward to seeing family and meeting new friends, whooty whoot!

Have you ever had a dream that was larger than life and it filled you with excitement and took your breath away? I firmly believe we're all born with a purpose.......that there's something that we're supposed to do and accomplish. The world is an absolutely magical place.

My friends dream big, keep the faith and happy training,
