Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

New Year, New Trails, New Goals
2010 brought celebrations of life...
and reminders of nature's incredible beauty...
incredible feats of endurance and perseverance...
...shared with the next generation
anaerobic suffering...
...and long runs in the mountains
new trails, adventures, and challenges to explore with my family...
...and with new friends
A few goals I have for 2011:
Welcome change
Seek out adventure
Take a chance at failure

Super cool post, Sophie! I love you ending quote on your blog about "putting it on the line!"
Wishing you health and I do hope we'll meet on the trails...My schedule is ever-evolving depending on who gives their (much appreciated) opinion!
