What inspires you?:
I run to stay healthy & to lose weight, I've already lost some, it feels great. It also helps in controlling my diabetes.
Training routine:
I run three times a week, usually at the Boys & Girls High School track on the weekdays. I also take a spin class once a week and try to take a weight training class once a week as well.
Other tidbit:
I like to collect bells from different cities I traveled to. My favorite places that I recieved bells from are a Big Ben bell from London, an Eiffel Tower bell from Paris and of course a Statue of Liberty bell!
