About

Hello! My name is Beth and I started my running journey in 2016 at the age of 44. After getting married in Lake Tahoe, I signed up as a “walker” for the Rock Tahoe Half Marathon.  I had been getting in shape for the wedding and loved the beauty of Tahoe so it seemed like the perfect, blended challenge.  Crossing the finish line, I was HOOKED! I immediately registered for the full Tahoe marathon scheduled for a few months later. Simply put, I made every rookie mistake, overtrained, and got injured but was determined to toe the start line.  7:05:56 hours later, I earned the title of marathoner.  Since then, I’ve gained experience and lost hours off my PR, which is currently 4:06:17. This blog serves as a diary of my journey as I continue toward my ultimate goals of qualifying for Boston and NYC marathons.
