About Me

I’ve been a runner for over 25 years, starting in high school when I followed in my brother’s footsteps. I was fortunate to be part of a state championship-winning cross country and track team, led by an incredible coach who inspired my passion for running.

After high school, I ran for fitness throughout college and my 20s. After having kids, I returned to competitive running and haven’t looked back. Running has become my outlet for personal growth, stress relief, and pushing my limits.

I also believe you can get faster at any age! Many of my personal bests have been set in the last five years:

  • Marathon

    3:12:31 (Houston, 2022)

  • Half Marathon

    1:27:52 (Celebration, 2020

  • 15K

    1:04:52 (Gasparilla, 2018)

  • 10K

    42:36 (Lake to Lake, 2024)

  • 5K

    18:58 (Winter Haven, 2021)

Fun Running Highlights

  • In high school, I promised a coach I’d break 19:00 in the 5K one day. My best back then was 19:01, so I set my email to Haley1859@aol.com as motivation. It took 23 years, but in 2021, I finally ran 18:58!
  • I qualified for the Boston Marathon in 2017 and ran it in 2019. Despite a tough race, I turned the setback into a comeback, running a 15-minute PR six months later with the help of my coach, Jon Mott.
