It is my mission to inspire confidence by sharing my journey, chasing dreams with laughter, and playing in the magic of the unknown.

I run to the beat of my own drum and help others own their weird as well. I believe that life is best spent playing, never wasting a single moment.

Believe in yourself, be grateful your pennies, and do it all with joy!

More about The Funny Runner…

The “Runner” Part: I started running when I was 13 because it was the social thing to do. I ran all through high school, part of college, and transitioned to marathoning post-college. I was very “average,” and it took me nearly 18 years to win my first race ever. From there I kept setting small goals, and slowly but surely, I started to believe that I could run faster. I now train full time as an elite trail runner for The North Face and have been on three USA teams…a dream I honestly never thought could be within reach!

The “Funny” Part: When I quit my big-kid job in 2016 to pursue running, I also had ambitions of simultaneously pursuing my comedy dreams. (I wanted to be on SNL!) At the time, there was no such thing as an elite runner/comedian, so I invented “The Funny Runner.” I’m trained in improv and sketch comedy from The Second City Chicago, The Annoyance Theater Chicago, and the Bovine Metropolis Theater Denver. I love incorporating comedy into my training and daily life.

I am a native Coloradoan and currently live and train in Denver. My husband Justin (“The Jusband”) and I love our two cats, Snacks and Bill Clinton.
