I never listen to music when I run.

Instead, I think about crossing the finish line and celebrating my accomplishments with chocolate cake.

My fifth Dopey 48.6 is done.

In 2020, I was scared to run 48.6 miles in four days.

Before I tried Dopey, I thought my running peers were nuts running 48.6 miles.

Lesson learn …..I will never say never. I am obsessed. Running nurtures my heart and soul.

Running has instilled in me, confidence, pride, and self-worth, and I am forever grateful.

The running community is very friendly, and this week I have met runners from all over the country.

I learned every runner has an inner comfort journey.
