Every week we highlight one of our members from the TRU TRIBE Run Team. Meet Amy Littler!  If we can do it, so can you!

1st 50K 2019

Why did you start running?
I was turning 40, and wanted to do something big. Signed up for the Phoenix Rock and Roll marathon.

What age did you start running?
40

How old are you now?
51

What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
Runners come in all shapes and sizes.

What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Surround yourself with a tribe of supportive women. Moms Run this Town chapters in AZ and CA, and Lisa’s TRU Tribe have played huge roles in encouraging me to run.

What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I still struggle with calling myself a runner because I, unfortunately, get stuck in pace. So if I could do something different, it would be acknowledging that I have run tons of half’s, 5 marathons and two 50ks. If I don’t do anymore races, I still have a lot to be proud of….

What is your longest race distance and why?
52k. Bucket list was 50k. Met Lisa who trained me for Frenzy. And then , like Lisa does, I completed another.

Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
Skyline to the Sea 50 in Northern CA.

What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
I love half marathons. The Napa half was beautiful. The swag included a jacket and a bottle of wine.

What is your favorite color?
Black to wear. And Purple for everything else

What is your favorite post race food and drink?
Burger and a frosty beer.

Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE Run Team.
I am thankful and grateful for all of you. You have made many of my miles a lot of fun!
