Читать книгу Getting My Bounce Back - Carolee Belkin Walker - Страница 8

Note to the Reader

What follows are posts from my original blog, SKINNYCAROLEE, which was hosted on BlogSpot from February 2014 until August 2015. I started my journey with a goal of transforming my physical appearance, but when I made the transition from focusing on losing weight to learning how to carve out time to meet my own fitness needs and to push myself physically and mentally, I moved the blog over to my personal website hosted by Squarespace and renamed it BE THE DOG.

Awesome people you’ll meet throughout this book:

Adin – My insanely artistic son, a dancer and athlete, who’s always there to encourage me to dig in.

Adorable – Reuel Tizabi, my original trainer at Equinox Bethesda who’s on his way to receiving his doctor of physical therapy degree.

Buff – Shoubry Sos, my trainer at Equinox Bethesda after Reuel left to return to school full time.

Lord Baltimore – Bob Walker, my husband, who was born and raised royally in Baltimore.

Mia – My wildly talented daughter, who heads up my squad and who sensibly reminds me when I get anxious before a race, “Mom, you volunteered for this.”

MCRRC – Montgomery County Road Runners Club.

Patrick Gatti – An American businessman on assignment in Kingston who ran with me in Emancipation Park in the evenings after work and talked endlessly with me about my upcoming first half marathon, D.C. Rock ’n’ Roll.

Perfectly Nice – Daniel Le, my trainer at Equinox Bethesda when Reuel attended the World Cup in Brazil.

Really Smart – Dr. Katie Taraban Mahoney, my physical therapist at Elite Physical Therapy and Wellness Center in Washington, D.C., who relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2015.

Ripped – Neile Miller, my Vassar classmate who also trained with Reuel.

Triathlete – My good friend and work colleague, who’s apparently naturally athletic.

Wonderful – Francis Bass, my massage therapist, who has sadly relocated out of Washington, D.C.
