Receive Text UpdatesI began running and prioritizing my health as a means to manage weight and cope with the demands of a challenging career. Following my husband's diagnosis of Stage 4 colon cancer in 2020, fitness became an essential tool for supporting my mental well-being.
What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?I am passionate about running and consistently incorporate stretching and core strength training into my routine. I run 7–8 miles daily and have maintained an annual mileage of over 2,500 miles for the past six years, reaching 3,000 miles in 2023. As a recovering anorexic, I have learned the importance of proper nutrition for overall health and have redirected my focus toward healthy, balanced eating.
What would you do with $20,000?I would give some to our church, I would help my children with their small college debt and, after nearly 16 years of marriage without a honeymoon, plan a trip with my husband.
