I'm a native Oregonian currently residing in New Mexico. I have wanted to run this race since I was a kid, and I volunteered when my dad ran it. I average a 9 minute mile (might be a little faster since I am training at 7000 ft.) I am a mother of 5, reliable, dedicated, and also lots of fun. I will push myself to do my best, but I am in it for fun and the overall experience.
