Hi from Savannah! · First Marathon Buddy Program

Hi from Savannah!

Hi marathoners to be! My name is Kacy and I live in Savannah, GA.

I started running in March 2020 after being furloughed and transitioning to a stay-at-home mom of three young boys (ages 5 mos-5 yrs). During the early COVID-19 uncertainty, I accepted a last-minute invitation to train for a virtual 5K, mainly to have something to do other than mom life and get a break from the kids.

After successfully completing the 5K using a run/walk plan, I quickly moved on to a virtual 10K and I was officially hooked. I ran my first full marathon (and also first in person race) at Walt Disney World in 2022, then set an ambitious goal with my husband to run a half marathon or further in all 50 states (10 down so far). I continue to use run/walk for everything over an hour.

I've completed three full marathons and several half marathons. I am currently taking a break from marathoning after my most recent one in December 2025 (my way to celebrate turning 40) to focus on the half, as well as my first sprint duathlon in April.

I'm so excited for all of you to embark on this life changing journey and would love to help in any way I can!
