My Favorite Hobbies

I enjoy running as an outdoor activity.  I participate in many short-distance runs from spring to fall, many of which benefit great organizations.  My goal is to complete a half marathon within the next year!  Running is not only great for your physical health, but it does wonders for your mental health as well.  The Frigid Five is my favorite run in mid-January, everyone should run it at least once! 

Ever considered running?  Let me offer you a tip, get as much information on nutrition and preventing injury before starting any sort of routine!

This is me and Cynder on a summer run!                                         Running with Suz and Kate!  The three of us are always on the run                                                                                                                         together!
 Dogs are great running buddies!


I also love to waterski!  My husband has been on several ski teams in the past and has shared with me an appreciation for the sport.  Our local team is the River City Water Skiers.

I enjoy skiing even more than running!  The falls can really suck sometimes, but it is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spend valuable time with friends and family!
