I have always enjoyed running. Even as a child, I remember delighting in joining my father for a run at the track. It has always been a release for me. So, has writing. I love how words can submerge me and how writing forces me to focus everything I have on it, giving me a desire to reach out and encourage others and express myself. These two passions, intertwined with my faith, inspired me to create the Faithful Trainer blog.

I believe the Bible unlocks the perfect heart for runners to compete. I know that no matter what I am training for that the most important thing I can train is my heart because it is drives the body. I believe that God is doing some amazing things in my life. While I do not always know the plans He has for me, I still have childlike faith knowing that anything is possible.

My name is Tanna, and I love life as a mommy and wife. I’m a runner, writer, and a follower of Christ. I want to share the physical and spiritual journey of growth and training God has shown me. He is my Faithful Trainer in this race. I hope you will join me in this journey of daily devotionals, encouraging scriptures, and even running tracks for runners after God’s heart.
