What make you a Tough Chik: want to be stronger and faster, and I am proud of my hard earned muscles. I have run 7 half marathons and plan to run a few more this year. I am looking forward to my first trail race in February and I’m not afraid of getting sweaty and dirty…or at least a little dirty. I love wearing bright colors when I’m working out, but not just pink!
