Dominique Tanner

Hello Fellow Runners!

I'm Dominique Tanner; this is my 8th year running with this incredible team of people. I picked up running only a few months prior to signing up my first year of 52.4 and to be honest I thought it sounded a little nuts. I went online and I watched the video and saw the hearts of the people running for these kids and it brought me to tears. Despite my fears, I signed up anyway and I can tell you it's been life-changing. The following year I was invited to join the leadership team and 3 years later I was blessed with the opportunity to go to India and see these special kids face to face. I can't say I always love running, I wasn't born a runner; but I can tell you that saying yes to things we think are hard and maybe even impossible - Is where God works the most.

I've got 3 kids and I'm a full time working mama, running all these miles wouldn't be possible without the support of my amazing husband Josh. My number one piece of advice is no music, take a minute (or an hour or two depending on the length of the run) and listen to the sound of the river, the trees in your neighborhood, kids playing in the park, the sound of your feet hitting the pavement and thank God for the life He has given you.
