My Running Story:
My ultra-running commenced in September, 2018 with participating in and finishing of the Table Rock Ultras-30K. I did not run or work out much before 2018; I was just a regular couch potato! It all changed when I discovered trail running. Since 2018, I participated and finished several Marathons and 50K distances including Uwharrie Gold Rush-50K, Umstead Marathon, Table Rock Ultras-50K, Umstead Ultra Crazy New Year 2020 Run-50K, and several virtual 50K races.
In 2019, I finished 3rd in the Masters division in the Run Wild-5K at the NC Zoo. In 2020, I finished 3rd in the Masters division for Bond Brothers 5K and 3rd overall female in the 12-mile race at the Rocky Face Mountain State Park which I ran together with my new doggie Chloe. 2020 culminated with an overall win (first overall female) of the Run Across Durham Ultra RAD (40 miles) and my finishing 80 miles in one week to get to 700 running miles for the year 2020!
In 2021, I participated in the Umstead Ultra Crazy New Year 2021 Run-50 Miler on 1/9/2021. That was my first 50 miles. Next comes Uwharrie Marathon on 3/13/2021.
In the last couple of years, I also participated in several OCR events (Spartan and Bonefrog) as well as qualified and participated in the 2019 UNAA World Ninja finals. When not running the trails of North Carolina, I can be seen competing in the local bouldering leagues or figure skating
