Happy New Year!

2021 was an amazing year of travel exploring this beautiful nation we live in!! Many miles of hiking adventure were accomplished with breathtaking views at the top of every mountain peak and canyon. I am grateful for my continued health and fitness level to be able to challenge myself daily!!! I look forward to 2022 and the mountain peaks that await my arrival!! #goodbye2021hello2022 #mountainlife #challengeyourself #nolimits #overcomer #americathebeautiful

Give Kindness

During this busy holiday season keep this in mind…..If you want to make a difference start giving kindness and compassion instead of an opinion. Give and spread love instead of judgement. This world has enough takers, be someone who gives nothing but joy to others!!! Start to believe there is good without seeing it! Hold on to hope and don’t ever let go!!!! #believe #michaelandersonstatue #kindnessmatters #lovewins #joy #compassion #handinhand

Snowy Day on the Trails

5 Years Ago

5 years ago today I finished my 300th marathon in Honolulu which was a huge goal to complete. I cranked out 14 more marathons in the following 3 years to retire with 314 lifetime marathons in October of 2019. It was an amazing 30 year running career with the last 80 marathons accomplished after my cancer diagnosis! I have found my new passion and challenge of reaching mountain peaks to be easier on my mind and body!!!! #challengeyourself #300lifetimemarathons #SurvivorStrong
