I’m a hippie housewife & creative/musician and I live in my college town, last house by a dead end that leads to all of our trails. Since we moved back here in 2017, our sports beckoned to us. I’ve always been an athlete of some kind. I was a serious runner in high school and in my 20s to 30s, I was a bicycle racer. I did walking & hiking for almost 2 decades after that. Right now, I’m a 50 year old running fanatic, returning to running to help my mental health in the pandemic. I returned to racing in 2021 and am about to do my second half marathon. I’ve done a number of 5K races and have been pleasantly surprised to place in the top 3 in my age group each time. My hubby JT is a serious cyclist (BMX, road, gravel, & mountain) and since we don’t have human kids, our activities are our life, haha! I enjoy walking around our downtown, catching live music, cooking & baking healthy stuff, writing songs, singing, playing guitar, doing yoga, meditating, reading, and playing with our pet hamster boy Cash. I love doing running races locally and some local group runs. Despite being an introvert, I enjoy the company of other people who are weirdos like me! I enjoy the different groups I’m in locally for my interests.
