I have always been an active person. I was raised around sports my entire life. I have not always thought of health and nutrition. I didn't start thinking about living a healthy lifestyle until my 20's. In my 20's, I began my quest for a healthy lifestyle. I began running and exercising daily and then I started to really enjoy it so I started running in 5k races. I then began running in 10ks and really liked them much better because they were longer so I decided to train for a half marathon with my sister-in-law. She was so supportive and we trained together and I ran my first half-marathon in Las Vegas, NV in 1995. I was so excited to complete it that I ran a few more and got much stronger. In 1999, I decided to train for my first full marathon. I was 29 and wanted to run one before I turned 30. I signed up for one in San Antonio, TX and was very pleased that I completed it. I wasn't very fast, but I did it. I had a friend who had also wanted to run in a marathon, so we trained together and ran in the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego, CA. I couldn't believe I felt so good and continued to train and got faster and faster. I decided to set another goal and that was to qualify for the Boston Marathon and in 2002, I achieved that goal. I have since run in a few more marathons and plan on running one this coming year.

I am now approaching 40 and realize that fitness and health need to continue to be my focus. I do also believe now that I have to also strength train and PX90 has helped me strength train. I want to now not only focus on my health and fitness, but help others that need support. My family and friends also are becoming more aware of the importance of health and fitness and I am so excited that through this we will all benefit.
