No Chasers!!!

I’m actually proud to say that I do not have any pics of me running the Houston Half Marathon on Sunday. It isn’t because I looked liked a drowned rat from the rain and humidity and refused pictures. I don’t have pics of me running because my family was to busy running in various races of the Houston Half Marathon and 5K! How AMAZING is that? No one chased anyone from mile to mile. My Aunt and Parents ROCKED the 5K and my Uncle, cousin and myself flew through the Half. I have a wonderful, active family and I’m proud of each one of them. 2012 NO CHASERS!!!

Meet Marilyn Kounnas! This BUSY BEE and I have been training together since March 4th, 2007! She recently buckled down and started food logging, watching what she ate, as well as added 1 yoga class and 2 walking sessions per week in addition to our weekly weight training. Doing this she was able to drop 8lb and 8inches OVER THE HOLIDAYS (12.10.10-1.25.11)! Nice work Marilyn, I cannot wait to see you FLY past your goals!

Meet one of my best friends, Clayton Manzer (@claytonmanzer). This is us in 2010, just before the Houston Marathon, at the expo. I think this picture is VERY funny because it shows how far both of us have come. See, this picture was taken just after Clay had made fun of me for eating a 1 block zoned paleo snack (1/2 cup of blueberries, 1 boiled egg and 3 almonds) that I pulled out of my purse. I was doing Crossfit Central’s IAM Challenge.This is the morning of the race. Clay is running the half marathon…weighing in at 315lbs. He also did Austin half in Feb. 2010.
Clayton started Crossfit Beaumont in February 2010 and shortly after he went paleo. His results have been LIFECHANGING! He is currently down to 265lbs, and is leaner and at his strongest EVER. Below is him performing the push jerk during the Crossfit Katy Comp this summer…his first comp which he placed in the top 10. Way to Go Clay! While these pictures only show the physical change Clay has experienced it doesn’t compare to his energy level, his way of eating, his strength, his speed. I am VERY proud of Clay and everything he has become. Love You Clay!

Repping the Double Cs!

Did I mention he is a HOTT firefighter?
