About Me

A little about me. In my normal life, I am a civil engineer who sits behind a desk everyday. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2006. Since meeting him and our many days of eating out and less working out, my weight started to creep up. In August 2007 my girlfriend wanted to get back in shape after her pregnancy. She talked me into running weekly with her. I agreed, and this began my plan to get my body back in shape. I wanted to add some additional workouts to my run, so I pulled out my old Slim in 6 videos. At the same time, I re-found the online message boards at Beachbody where I meet a lot of great people who kept me committed to my fitness goals. I also found a great coach who was there everyday to help me stay on track! Today, I'm still working to sculpt my body and get it into the best shape ever. As I have progressed through my body's transition, I decided to become an Independent Beachbody Coach to help others reach their fitness goals! I realized it was easier then I thought, and I really believe others can change their lives too!

40 days left!



Being today is September 1, that means I have 40 days left to get ready for the Baltimore 1/2 marathon on Oct. 10th. Am I ready? Uhmm, nope. I have run 8 miles as my longest run to date. I have to be at 13.1 miles by race day. But, in the next few weeks, if I keep my training going as planned, I am confident I will be ready.

It's funny that now the Baltimore 1/2 marathon is just the training run for my full marathon! It's almost hard to believe!

I keep hearing from others that have run half marathons before, if you can do 10 miles before your race day, then race day will be easy to get to 13! What? Overnight I can magically run 3 more miles then I ever ran before!!! They say, the crowd cheering you on make those miles just go by so easy! But, I'll listen and learn. I still wonder what world these runners live on? I'm listening, but secretly, I may be training a little differently to satisfy myself!

I wanted to share the course of my Baltimore run! Let you all see what I am up for in the next few weeks.
