I came to coaching through my love of science, outdoor exercise, and local food. Science helps us understand how our bodies can adapt to training stimuli; outdoor exercise keeps us moving and connected to nature; local food nourishes our bodies and connects us to our communities.

After 30 years of nursing, I have moved my office to the road and trails. My first pair of running shoes were my moms. Literally, I borrowed them when I wanted to run. They were the shoes that you would use "goo" on to keep the bottoms in shape. I ran in them until they died.
