About the Author

Beth Long

I’m Beth, a happy runner from the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I love how running allows me to explore new places, meet positive people, and challenge myself. The half marathon is probably my favorite distance, but I’ve absolutely loved every marathon I’ve run as well. Right now, I average around 35-45 miles per week as I’m currently training for my 6th World Major Marathon in April, as well as my 6th run Disney Dopey Challenge in January.
