About Me

Add caption

I'm a teacher, a runner, a writer, and a hopeless optimist that likes to find the good in people, and still believes that anyone can change the world. 

I started teaching high school and running long distances at the same time, and though many called me crazy, (and in the beginning, even I questioned if I'd lost my mind!) so much of my success in one has been reliant on the other.

By nature, I'm a storyteller. Thus, "Going the Distance" evolved into a place to recap the good, the bad, the ugly, the awesomeness, and the downright bizarre things that happen when one returns to the world of high school as one of the 'adults'...tries to push physical and mental boundaries...and just plain grows up!  

This is me, and these are my stories. Walk a mile in my shoes...you pick the pair!
