About Me

In addition to being a competitive runner (the clear focus of this blog!), I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.  My family is my world, and my career as a Clinical Director at a large developmental disabilities service agency makes my days fulfilling and interesting!  I also teach as an adjunct in Missouri State University's ABA Masters program, lead a competitive running group, and am active in my local running club, the Ozark Mountain Ridge Runners.  I am Type A, routine-obsessed, detail-oriented, a lazy cook and shopper, and an early-to-bed/early-to-rise type of person.  I am passionate about my running goals, and I've never met another runner I didn't love -- which is the main reason I joined the running blogging community!

I'm just an ordinary woman trying to make the most of my God-given abilities, and if I can do it, you can too!  If you don't dream big, how can you ever expect it to come true?  “Anything is possible for one who believes.” – Mark 9:23
