Most of my free time is spent with my husband and kids enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, canoeing, and a favorite of my kids is throwing rocks in the Mississippi River! I am also an avid runner. This year I competed in two half marathons, and will be competing in two 5K races in the coming months. I am also planning on running another marathon in the spring, which will be my 3rd marathon.
