So I have some exciting news…A few months back I was flipping through Women’s Health Magazine and saw a contest “Enter to Win to become one of our 2015 Action Heroes”. I thought, “Ok sure why not! Nothing to lose.” Well fast forward a few months, I had totally forgotten I had applied, until I got the email telling me I’d been selected. What?! Really?

What’s an Action Hero anyway?

WH Action Heroes are women who are active and passionate about fitness in the their communities, motivating other women to strive to achieve their personal goals. Over the next year, I will join 50 other incredible women from all over the country to have the opportunity to review new products for Women’s Health and blog for their Action Hero site.

One of the important missions of the Action Hero program is to raise money for the Run 10k Feed 10 foundation. 10k races are held across the country to raise money for hunger in America. Every registration will provide 10 meals for someone in dire need. I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to work on such an important issue and hopefully make an impact in my community. Knowing that I can take my passion for running and use it to help someone else in need is really exciting.

I will be running the Washington DC race this fall and hope that many of you will join me. More to come on the race and how you can help in the coming months.

My kids had lots of fun teasing me about this one even asking me if I was going to have some little action hero toys made up or start wearing a cape. Not a bad idea huh?

For now-I am just honored, humbled and beyond psyched to have been chosen by Women’s Health and I hope to help make a difference this coming year. I can’t wait to meet and connect with the other fabulous Action Heroes I will be teamed up with.
