Happy New Year

Happy New Year! 2016 was a great year. Not only did I celebrate another year cancer free, I was blessed to complete my 300th marathon a few weeks ago. It was a year of a lot of air travel and many nights away from home, but I was honored to have been apart of some amazing opportunities that have changed me and my outlook on life. I am happy, healthy, and well loved. Can't wait for 2017 to experience many more new adventures and opportunities! 

Oklahoma City Marathon

I am honored to announce that the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon on April 30th has been added to my 2017 schedule! This marathon is to remember the 168 people who lost their lives on April 19th, 1995. I LOVE their mission statement......This marathon is to celebrate life, reach for the future, honor the memory of those who were killed, and unite the world in hope. This is not just another marathon, it is a Race to Remember, and a race to show that we can each make a difference and change the world. 

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas from snowy Spokane. I wish everyone great health, happiness and much love! Many blessings to all! ❤
