My name’s Elizabeth, and I’m an unlikely runner. I was never athletic through school; in fact, I figuratively ran the other way. Yuck! Then in 2009, my husband joined the Army and I was not about to be left behind while he got fit and strong! I’ve run one half marathon, two full marathons, and lots of other races. I’ve run in 12 inches of snow, and in the heat of the New Mexican desert.

I’m a graduate student in linguistics living in the Southwest, busy with work and classes. But besides that, I am a dedicated follower of Christ,  and loving wife, aunt, daughter, sister, and friend. I am in love with my three nieces and three nephews, and one Pit Bull mix named Missy, who, as it turns out, is a great running partner!
