Quotes:
“During all that alone time running on the beach near the pier. It just dawned on me, I should probably do some fitness by this beach. This beach is amazing! When you're in that flow state of running, all kinds of ideas come into your head.”

“I didn't have a wetsuit, so I would be freezing. It'd be the middle of winter and I would just be in my bikini. But I didn't even care. After, I would have to have somebody help me start my car because I could not move my hands.”

“It's empowering to feel strong, even when you're just doing something like changing your furniture around in your house, to be able to move things. If anybody needed you for something, you have the strength to do it. I guess it's just a way of life for me now.”
