I have always loved sports. In high school I was a 3 sport athlete in Volleyball, Basketball, and Track & Field. I would run 3 miles for fun in my neighborhood to clear my head and for fun. At 6'0 Basketball was the clear choice so I played for Gonzaga University. My senior year I tore my ACL and was lucky to meet my husband the year I stayed in Spokane and red-shirted. Today I am happily married with 2 amazing boys. To lose the baby weight I took to the paths around my work on my lunch break. I have lost over 60 pounds and am back to less than my college playing weight.
