Hi, I'm Shelby! I'm originally from the grand state of North Dakota, but my husband and I now live in beautiful Coeur D Alene, Idaho. 

I began running long distance my freshman year of high school and found out really quickly that running is HARD, but the people who run are AWESOME. I stuck with running those first few years because my teammates around me were some of my best friends. Fast forward to my senior year of highschool... I found out if I was CONSISTENT and worked hard, running and racing was FUN. I ended up running cross country and track for a small DII school called Black Hills State University. It was there that I found my love and passion for this sport. 

I received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and went on to graduate school at the University of North Dakota where I achieved my long time goal of becoming a Doctor of Physical Therapy. During my time at UND, I began helping classmates and friends with their own running. I found that not only did I have a passion for running, I had a passion for helping others fall in love with running and find their own success. 

Over the years, I have run multiple track races, road races, and half marathons. I always said I wanted to run 1 marathon; qualify for Boston, then never run another marathon again. WELLLL, this last year I was blessed with the ability to do just that. Running the 125th Boston Marathon was a lifelong goal. I'm happy to say I caught the bug, and there are definitely more marathons on my horizon.

Other than running, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my husband, Mark and adventuring with our springer spaniel, Cora. We love to hike, bike, hang out on the lake, camp, ski..(yep, pretty much anything outdoors makes us smile!)

Helping runners achieve their goals, stay injury free, and build confidence in themselves through running is one of my biggest passions. Running has brought me so much joy and I hope to share that joy with those around me.
