Hello :) My name is Katy and I am a distance runner who is looking to get back in shape/back in running form. I have had a difficult few years ...... cancer survivor, gastroparesis survivor, autoimmune diagnosis, celiac diagnosis, three job changes, and some other stressors. I am a former college athlete (soccer) and a marathoner. I used to be extremely disciplined and always went the extra mile. With all these stressors and life challenges, I have lost my discipline and allowed myself to make excuses for my lack of fitness and weight gain. I have been able to maintain my basic level of fitness but I am not happy with my running pace, jeans size, or my general health/wellness. I want to work out every single day and I need to eat paleo to overcome my autoimmune issues. I need some support and buddies to help keep me on track!!!! I will support you in your journey too!
