You know that feeling...you're in the middle of run or a Crossfit class workout and your body's telling you something's not quite right, but your ego is telling you to keep going.

When I first started training in June for the NYC marathon, I had no clue what I was getting into! The experience of the NYC marathon is truly one you have to experience to really understand. Here’s a little recap..

Waiting to hit the pavement was hard for this runner after a broken ankle! Jillian wasn’t only patient and hard working, but driven to make sure she could get the miles in when she was ready!

After physical therapy, this runner’s mantra went from “Eat, Sleep, Run” to “Eat, Sleep, Run, Bike, Lift, and Give Yourself Some Rest Days.” Physical therapy is what keeps her a strong & healthy athlete, more than what keeps her running.
