Introduction Hi, I am married to my husband Aaron. We have two girls, 19 and 15! I have thought about running for a few years, but never did anything with it! I joined a biggest loser sort of contest with some girls at work and lost a few lbs and then gained them back. Then I also joined a few girls that I work with doing some personal training at our local gym. The only thing I enjoyed when we did the personal training was running! Who would have thought since in school I avoided running anytime I could! I did a 1 mile fun walk with my oldest daughter on Memorial Day weekend 2011! Enjoyed doing it but wanted to run instead of walk! I needed to do something to loose weight and start to exercise since both of my jobs are sedentary! So on 9-25-2011 I started the Couch 2 5K program on my Blackberry! I finished that 9 week program on 11-26-2011. To celebrate that accomplishment I asked my family to join me in the East Peoria Il River Trail Classic 2 mile Fun Walk! Then I started to repeat the C25K program and decided to join a 12 week running program in Peoria Il called FAST-Fun and Smart Training!
