Meet Gina, our ambassador at lululemon Rush St. in Chicago. She's a marathoner, a volunteer and a passionate foodie who set herself a lofty goal - to run a marathon in all 50 states.Yes, you read that correctly, her plan is to run (a minimum) of 50 marathons in her lifetime!
After crossing the finish line of her first race in 2005, the Rock’n’Roll Marathon in Nashville she was hooked. Having been a competitive figure skater for most of her athletic career and after graduating from Miami University Ohio, she needed a new challenge. She aimed high, laced up her runners and hit the pavement to train with Chicago’s 50 States and DC Marathon Club. Her goal through all of this is to inspire others to get active, to sweat and live life while challenging herself physically and mentally to cross 50+ finish lines.
When Gina isn't training, running or travelling, you can find her volunteering and cooking with kids at Common Threads, a Chicago-based non-profit organization. Watch for Gina at her next race (she’s training for Boston, 2011) and follow her race journey via her personal blog www.walktothemailbox.com, which includes training tips, travel pics and the occasional mouth-watering dinner recipe. Chicago locals can get in on the fun too, Gina will be leading the Rush St. lululemon run club through the streets of the Windy City this spring.
