I have run 6 marathons, including The Boston Marathon in 2004. I entered and won a Ms. Natural Minnesota in 2009. I started working out after my second son was born. Found that I had a great passion for it, went and recieved Certifications in the activities below. I was the Group Fitness Coordinator for the YMCA in 2000, but found that I spent more time at a desk than actually teaching classes. I have the capacity to teach a variety of levels of fitness. I had back surgery in 2010, so I understand the recovery process and know first hand how difficult exercise is when you haven't participated in physical activity for some time. I always offer options to either lower the intensity, or increase the effort. I feel very passionate about fitness, and about vacations. Putting them together would be fantastic.
