I am an avid hiker, and I have run many full and half marathons.  And I have done a few short backpacking trips. I am a personal and group fitness trainer at a local health spa, and start every morning I work at the spa with a short hike 2.5-4 miles, with extremely challenging terrain and hills.

I am married, mother of two, and I have a gigantic lazy german shepherd dog. My husband likes to hike with me but not my kids so much. I have friends that like to do easy hikes with me as well.

My dream is to do the PCT in short sections over a few years, and Rim to Rim at the Grand Canyon.
