About me

Bonjour! Zdravo! Hola! Hey there!Thanks for stopping by! I’m Kirsten.

Parking lot yoga after the Fools 25K

I live east of Cleveland, Ohio, where we love our sports teams no matter what and hold forever grudges against those that do us wrong.

A glorious day in CLE sports

I am a teacher. I’m blessed with a job that seems tailor made for me and am one of those “I love my job so much people” that you want to punch in the face at 7:05 on a Monday morning. I teach high school French, so be prepared for some foreignness now and then. I also know a lot of facts about random topics and will one day rock it out on Jeopardy.

First day of school 2011!

I thrive on a packed schedule, so I fill my time with running, boxing, softball, soccer, yoga, and hiking. And running.

10 mile PR!

With a former student/fighter at the CLE Golden Gloves

I ran my first (not last!) marathon in 2011 and have been kicking asphalt (and trail) ever since.

Akron (aka sub 2) Half

Small race + motivation = first place in my age group!

In my nonsweaty time, I volunteer with the Metroparks, read two books at a time, and scrapbook with my girly friends. I’m a meat (and fish) free girl, and I am trying with all my might to be a locavore and help support family farms in the Cleveland area.
