Introduction	I am a 40-something married mom of 3 teenagers (ARGHHHH!!!) who, I guess you could say, is going through a midlife crisis. A little over 2 years ago I threw out my back and decided that I needed to lose weight once and for all. I began eating healthier (smaller portions and more veggies) and exercising. Along the way I started walking and then running on the treadmill at the gym. One thing led to another and I entered my first 5K in January 2007. I've been hooked ever since. I run with the Up & Running team in Cocoa Beach and have been training for my first full marathon (Disney 1/11/09). In addition to running, I am also "addicted" to travel and would love to someday live in France. I've been there 3 times and also visited London, Greece, Turkey and China...have passport will travel!

Favorite Movies	Steel Magnolias, Forrest Gump, A Christmas Story, Michael, History of the World Part I, Splash
Favorite Music	Eagles, Seger, Chicago, or anything that distracts me from the miles slipping under my running shoes
