Introducing Lacy

My name is Lacy, and I was born in Macon, GA. Both my parents were in the Marine Corps, so my early childhood was spent moving around, and then finally settling in Fayetteville, Georgia. I’m now married to a wonderful man who I can happily claim as my best friend and soul mate and we are expecting our first child in October.

As long as I can remember my family has encouraged my love for sports through softball, soccer and tennis. I have been running for my entire life, but never to the extreme of what I do now until about 2004.  Life took me to England, and finding the best way to familiarize myself with the area was to go out and explore.  So I did this through running. One major benefit was how wonderful I felt.  Coming back to Georgia didn’t stop my running; it only fueled it when I met more and more people who shared this love of being free.  

Running has enriched my life in so many ways.  I met Kristen in middle school and she introduced me to Linsey in 2011.  Funny story, Kristen asked me to run a Ragnar with Linsey (who I didn’t know) and unfortunately, Kristen could not attend this race. Before I even ventured out to Utah for my first Ragnar, I signed up for a second. Wasatch Back here I come!  New state, new people, new experience! It was one of my greatest and most remembered adventures.  Linsey, Ami and I became fast friends and the rest is history.

Running is the base of me.  It equalizes me. It has taught me patience, and it has provided me with friendships that will outlast running. Most of all it has shown me that I have the determination and the desire to overcome any obstacle set in front of me, and that I am stronger than I think I am.

This lifestyle may not be for everyone, but I love to encourage, help people, and watch them succeed.  If you have a goal and we’ve just met, I’ll be your biggest cheerleader. I love this healthy active life that I’ve been given, and I want to show people through my actions that you’re just one step away from being the same way.
