Karen started running in 1999 for exercise, and eventually caught the marathon bug, finishing her first Houston Marathon in 2001. Since then, she has completed over 20 marathons, half marathons, 50K trail races, 10Ks, 5Ks, and has participated in the Texas Independence Relay. A charter member of KARC, Karen treasures the friendships she has made through the group and looks forward to many more KARC running adventures.
When she is not running, she enjoys spending time with her husband, family and friends; reading, and watching movies.
