Meet the Staff: Amy

amylandes

From Portland with love. Amy began running in 2001 after her kids were born. She moved to St. Louis in 2011 and loves to run and train around here but names two Oregon-based races as her all time favorites, The Hood to Coast Relay and The Portland Marathon–and who could blame her? Amy is a veteran marathon runner, having completed 27 total, with a marathon win under her belt. She was the top overall female at the MO Cowbell Marathon with an impressive time of 3:03 in 2013! Amy has a goal of completing a marathon in under 3 hours. When she is not training and working at our West County location, Amy is a busy mom with a husband, three teenagers and a dog. One of her great joys is having shared her passion of running with each of her kids at one point or another.
