I began my running journey in the 6th grade. Little did I know that joining my school’s track team would lead me to one of my favorite activities. Whether I’ve been training for a marathon, or just needing some alone time for 10minutes, running has become a part of my life. It offers stress-relief and a sense of accomplishment. Since becoming a mother, it not only gives me “me-time” but a constructive way to implement self care, both physically and mentally.

Hiking is my other outdoor love. I love being out in nature and exploring. One thing my husband and I always do while traveling is incorporating a hike of some sort. We’ve hiked in other States (we live in WI). We’ve hiked in Italy. We’ve hiked in Ireland. Hiking has given us quality time together and unforgettable memories.
