Hello! I'm Liz! By day, I am a middle school science teacher. On nights and weekends, you can catch me running all over town. My adult running journey began when my brother convinced me that I could run a half marathon in Fall 2011, even though running a single mile at the time seemed impossible. From that first race, I was hooked. Since then, I have run three full marathons and countless other short distance races. I have been a running coach for in-person training groups since 2019 and I also led a local hiking group to explore the amazing landscapes of Central California. Recently, I've embraced trail running and taking advantage of the amazing trails and races in my local community. I've also learned that you don't have to race every race, and have fallen in love with working aid and cheering stations during races. I became active in the BALG online community in 2021 by joining the training group. Being a part of BALG training groups have greatly improved my mental endurance and kept the passion of running alive. I have met so many amazing people who continue to inspire me every day. I am so excited to lead a chapter in Fresno and bring the awesome community of BALG to the Central Valley.

The community! I've met so many badass women both online and in-person. There is always someone there to support you when you most need it, with no judgement.
Hey I‘m Sarah! I grew up in Fresno, California and found myself back here after college. I’m a sixth grade teacher. I love reading, hiking, and traveling. Growing up, I never saw myself as “sporty.” In 2020, I began running with the goal of completing a half marathon! I was able to start this goal with a local running group, trained through the pandemic, and eventually found Badass Lady Gang through my friend and co-lead Liz. Since training with Badass Lady Gang, I’ve learned so much about myself and the ups and downs of running! I’ve found so many opportunities to lean into new parts of this sport—through trail runs, cheer stations, and now coaching & co-leading the Fresno chapter. I love the community I’ve found within this group and cannot wait to connect with more badass ladies!
