could change her life in 2012, and quickly fell in love. She embraced the sport by

Girls on the Run coach, a Disney World-loving marathoner, and a triathlete. She

developed Mindful Marathon to help others see what she’s learned—that running can fundamentally improve our lives. She puts her focus on helping busy professionals
