Hi! I'm Wendy! I've been a runner for most of my adult life. My motivation for running has changed over the years but my love for all the miles remains strong. I have rheumatoid arthritis, but I don't let it stop me. Running's been good to me. I've been able to realize my dream of running the Big Sur Marathon. I've run the Chicago Marathon 3 times. Over the past couple of years, I've developed a passion for trail running. I can't think of a better combination than nature and running. For the past 3 years, I've been a member of the Brooks Running Collective. I also enjoy CrossFit, Fluid Running, strength training, waterskiing, and other water activities. Off the road, I'm a pediatric nurse practitioner and a married mom of 2 grown sons and a crazy cocker spaniel. Come along for a run with me!
