My name is Shayla Toombs-Withers. I am a Christian, wife, mother, physician, vegetarian, distance runner. I am wife to a wonderful husband and mom to two rambunctious, fun loving, boys. I hold a doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine and am currently practicing as a Family Medicine physician. I began following a vegetarian lifestyle for the second time around in February of 2012. Running is my passion and gives me sanity! I began distance running in 2010 and have since run numerous 5K and 10K races, Half Marathons, and Marathons. In 2014 I branched off into the world of triathlon and competed in two sprint races. And, I have recently begun trail running. I love a challenge!
