I was 5 weeks out from running a marathon I was training for when I suffered a stress fracture in my foot and was unable to run. To go from training hard to nothing was not a option so I hired a personal trainer and started lifting weights to keep active and fit while my foot healed. Little did I know that I would find a new passion.

I love to feel fit and strong. When I lift a new PR or just have a good hard nothing feels better. I get a lifting high the same way that I get a runners high.
