I love to run Bay area trails - and specifically, I am obsessed with Mission Peak in South Bay having done 118 summits :) I'm happy to meet friends and explore new trails though since it's about the joy of sharing trails with friends first! 

I run because I am inspired by others who're doing what I want to do some day (and I use that to drive me, instead of intimidating me), and more importantly, I hope to inspire someone who is just getting started and I want to show them a path to getting there because I did, too. 

I used to be a pack-a-day smoker in my 20's and that was one of the hardest things I've had to leave behind, but I know that I'm setting an example for my 7 year old with the life I'm leading and the compassion and empathy I want to teach him!
