I have been involved with sports for 40years. Current sports I enjoy are: strength training, trail running, road running, mountain biking and triathlon.

I started strength training because I realized that it would help me to be able to do all the sports I love longer in life. But it turns out that I love my time strength training too!

Upon completing my precision nutrition qualification to help balance endurance running and strength training - I realized that there is so much more to learn in this industry and have since completed my personal training certification and have a few more lined up for this year too.

As an athlete, it’s my goal to run an ultra marathon in 2022. Buckin Hell in North Vancouver or the Wild Horse Traverse in Kelowna. But along the way, I’d like to start working with and inspiring those who are new to running and want to learn more about blending the strength and endurance world together for health, fun, injury prevention and longevity.

If I’m not out with my little Dog, Rudy you will find me out and about with Hubby on the back of the motorbike. We love travelling around on it. Coolest trip was to Moab for our wedding anniversary a few years ago. Rented mtb and rode the red rock. So sweet.

Best thing about exercise - is the confidence I have gained!
