The Beginning

Hello and welcome to my blog! My running story started over 4 years ago. My dad had recently been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and was about to begin his first round of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. My best friend invited me to run the Susan G. Komen 5k I agreed and didn't know what I was getting myself into. I did not properly train for the 5k and never ran before, I showed up Sunday morning and ran the race. As I struggled to finish my first 5k I said to myself if my dad can endure all those painful treatments I will run this for him.  After I cross the finish line i was hooked! I got the runners bug! From that day on I dedicate my races in my dads honor. Now 4 years later I've ran more than 10 half marathons, 3 triathlons, century ride 111 mile bike ride, countless 5 and 10k's  and currently training for my first full marathon in San Diego, with my ultimate goal to become and Ironman (Ironwomen) this is my journey to Ironman and life...... Enjoy 

I'm an artist at heart and I am obsess with Frida Kahlo! that's where the name Running Frida came about thanks to my good friend Vero for coming up with it.
