  • Hi I'm Gina...originally the kid who couldn't finish her high school long runs in gym class...then just before my 40th picked up running, lost some weight, and ran a couple of 5kms! Got off track for a few years...but as my 50th is next year...I'm getting back on it! I've been on the treadmill for now (kinda cold in…

My running goals: 10Km on…

Ahhhh. Every. Little. Bite.…
