Welcome!

Hi, I’m Heather- and I am in my 40’s, a wife and mother who has found a passion for running. Welcome to my little corner of the internet where I share the ups, downs, blisters, breakthroughs, and everything in between that comes with being a runner (even if you are a bit older like myself). Whether you’re lacing up for your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, I hope my journey inspires, informs, or simply reminds you that you’re not running alone.
