I got into fitness a little over 13 years ago, at first I just wanted to lose 20-25 lbs so I began strength training & then quickly followed it with running. Shortly after, I started running & since then I've ran hundreds of 5k's, 10k's, 15k's, 13.1 and 26.2 mile races and still maintain my strength training. My hope is to help others discover a love for fitness, finding a lifetime commitment to a healthy lifestyle they can grow with.

Yesterday - Running with Shari and group
After noticing my complaining on facebook about how much I couldn't wait for Jump Start to begin, Shari invited me to her running group on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. I was a little nervous to say the least because I am very quiet and shy, but the ladies were awesome and nice, very talkative. We ran 4 miles, I made a friend with a lady named Marie though she pronounces it like Maurien almost I think. She stuck with me around mile 2 and the rest, we probably walked for 2 or 3 minutes for .4 miles because I told her about the pains I have been having lately so she didn't want me to hurt myself. I had a great time and can't wait til next Thursday and especially Jumpstart now, Marie and Shari and them will be doing marathons next Saturday while I am doing a 5k. I just purchased two new pairs of running shoes, I think my Ravennas are aging and that might be why I have been have a lot of aches and pains. One new pair are Ravenna (again!) and the other pair are Pumas, they have good reviews so I figured I would try them and rotate my shoes during runs. I think our time was around 45:00 minutes.
