My name is Linsey, and I am the brunette Sweat Sister. I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, and have never really wanted to live anywhere else. I just love it here! I have been married to my best friend, Kevin, for 5 years, and we have 3 adorable fur-kids. We love to travel whenever and wherever we can, and we are both huge Green Bay Packers fans.
I have been active my whole life, and love being outside. I have been running (by choice) for a little over 5 years now. My best friend from college, and fellow Sweat Sister, Ami, got me into mountain biking and running, and I haven't looked back since. One of my favorite, and most rewarding things about running, is the friendships that have come from it, and been made even stronger by it. Without running, I wouldn't have met Lacy, whom I met through Kristen at Wasatch Back 2011. As a side note, Kristen and I met when we were randomly paired together for an internship in San Antonio, Texas in the summer of 2003. It was a tough summer for many reasons, but meeting Kristen and becoming lifelong friends with her made the whole summer worth it. Not only has running strengthened relationships I have with others, it has also strengthened the relationship I have with myself, and my self-confidence. Setting and meeting goals when it comes to running is hard, and it can only be done by you. No one else can do the work for you. I have learned so much about myself over the years and miles, and have gained a new acceptance of myself as a result.
I love encouraging others to be healthy and active, and hope that through this blog, we will be able to inspire others to do the same. If I inspire even one person to make healthy changes in their life, then it's all worth it to me!
