My name is Kathleen and growing up I was never what you would call an overweight child but certainly had some extra love handles that I didnâ??t love as a young girl and on into my early teens and 20â??s.
After having two children I decided that I would always have some extra â??junk in the trunkâ?? I resolved myself to those proverbial baby weight pounds...
I am a gluten-free wife, runner & blogger with two children in Columbus, Ohio. After my celiac diagnosis in 2006, I have made it my mission to embrace an entirely new approach to nutrition in a gluten-free world, exploring options that run the gamut from â??made from scratchâ?? homemade bread to sampling and reviewing the gluten-free prepared foods that are continuously being...
I have experience in long distance running, 9 marathons thus far since 1986. I do 1 every 3-4 years. Used to teach a "Boot Camp" physical fitness class at the Seqoia YMCA. I was a Navy Corpsman for 12 years. Physical fitness is very important to me but has been harder since having 2 young ones.
I'm a passionate runner, professional kid doctor, recreational poet/writer, part-time running coach, and blogger who's always in training to run the good race and inspire the world through running.
I am a thirty-something mother of two. After my daughter was born I rekindled my love of competition and racing. My favorite distances are the 5k and the half marathon. Someday I will tackle the 26.2 and have a marathon under my belt. For now I am happy with the shorter distances and learning all I can about racing and training smart. This blog is my journey. I am a surgical nurse who...
I'm a former accountant who has amused herself by raising two kids for the last 14 years. Since the kids are in school, I've had time to run three marathons, four half marathons, and many shorter races. This past summer I finished my first triathlon season. This winter I'll keep running and try to learn to cross country ski without killing myself.
My name is Dave and I run...yes it is an addiction. Most of my races are Ultramarathon Trail races (longer than 26.2 miles) although I once ran the Bataan Marathon with a 44 lb backpack. I have since ventured into the cylcing realm and plan on riding my first 100 mile Hotter N Hell race in the August Texas Heat on a fixed geared bike. I am married with three kids...and love the outdoors...until...
An attempt at a brief yet thorough bio of Mark Manz, the runner:
I've been running basically since I could walk. In elementary school I was a nerdy kid who wasn't particularly athletic. In 3rd grade we had to run a timed mile for PE class. Not only did I win, I lapped everyone else in class. I had found something I was actually good at sports-wise. I've never been the most coordinated but I...
