About Me

Hi, I’m Rachel!

I’m a mom, wife, daughter, sister, niece, and friend. I’m also an RRCA Certified Running Coach, and a healthy lifestyle advocate.

I have been running for five years and I continue to improve with each training run and race. My latest passion is teaching others how to train efficiently and effectively. I also have become quite fond of the trails.

I’m extremely active in both my local running and parenting communities. I run a medium-sized social group for parents and their kids, and have formed friendships that will last for many years to come.

My blog, Running on Happy, is a reflection of the journey of my life — who I am, how I got here — and the trials and tribulations of healthy living and navigating parenthood.

I am inspired on a daily basis by so many people around me, and my hope is to inspire them back. I want to set a superior example of healthy living for my children, and I very much want them to become athletic and active as they grow.

I am always challenging myself and setting new goals. I can’t wait for my next PR, and even though I’m bummed if I don’t get one, I know there’s only one way to the top — training.

Follow me and hopefully I can inspire you, too!
