Meet Laura

Hi, I’m Laura!

I am a mother and lawyer by day and a runner by early morning, late night, and weekend (or whenever else I can fit it in).

My obsession with running started when I was at cheerleading practice in 6th grade. The high school cross country team was doing a hill workout along the same field we were practicing. They looked miserable, but something about their sheer grit and determination intrigued me. I remember going home and asking what "sport" that was, because I wanted in.

I ran throughout middle school and high school, but took a long hiatus during college and law school. My final semester of 3L year I decided it would be a great time to start running again - so I signed up for a marathon (while also graduating, moving home, studying for and taking the bar exam, and planning my wedding). I made every mistake that could possibly be made during that first training cycle and the race itself was miserable. And I loved it. What started off as something to check off the bucket list became a reignited passion.

I have served as an assistant coach for high school cross country and track, and I am also an RRCA Certified running coach. I love running. I love talking about running. I love helping others meet (and exceed) their running dreams.

“There is something magical about running; after a certain distance, it transcends the body. Then, a bit further, it transcends the mind. A but further yet, and what you have before you, laid bare, is the soul.”

— Kristin Armstrong
