Chicago, IL

Mini Bio: I am 34 years old, a wife and a mother of two little girls age 6 and 9. Besides training year round for marathon and ultras, I work full time as a dental assistant. In the last 5 years, I have gone from barely running a mile to completing races of all distances from the 5k to the ultramarathon. For the last 4 years, I have coached beginner runners and trained them to complete their first 5k, and also coached advanced marathon runners to improve their times in all distances. My goal is to inspire new runners and motivate new athlethes to be the best they can be and help advanced runners reach new goals. Between balancing my family, work and coaching, I train year round and always set new goals for myself. Within the last 6 months I have started a racing team called Team Dirty Red Indiana. I started with 4 girls and now I have almost 40. It's all about being the best you can be and helping others along the way. (www.teamdirtyred.blogspot.com) check it out if you want..
