  - At First she was not a fan of Calgary but loved it through time because its easier to get to the mountains.
• The sport she first loved was wrestling and transitioned to trail running
• She is also a part of the Calgary Roadrunner board and often meetup at Tuesday morning.

     Her favorite local races have probably be iron legs is definitely a favorite. I've run that one, three or four time. It's really awesome. 

If you haven't tried it and there's different distances spend 20 K all the way up to a hundred. So it's very accessible to lots of different runners.
