Welcome, friend! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a busy mom and a slow, curvy, determined runner who could barely run for one minute when I started and who finally stopped believing I was failing just because I didn’t run as fast or look like everyone else.

I created The Curvy Runners to help women who feel out of shape, intimidated, or unseen in the running world realize they belong here too. You don’t need to change your body to start running.

You just need to start.

And I’ll be right here with you every step of the way.
