Athlete of the Month - Tanja!

4/25/2016

0 Comments

 
Congratulations to Tanja, our newest athlete of the month! Tanja started training with us over a year ago and at that time she could only run one minute, walk one minute because of knee problems and her fitness level. Tanja first started training with her daughter Julia, she then joined our Summer Run Training group with her son Luke. Since starting her training, she has completed the Terry Fox Run in a run/walk with last month's Athlete Kyme and her son Luke. Last Sunday, Tanja and her family, husband, son, brother, and nephew completed the Vancouver Sun Run with an amazing time of 1:01! Tanja has made fitness and nutrition a family affair. She completed the Nutrition Coaching and now trains with her husband Rudi in Small Group Training, trains with her daughter at the Rec Ctr, and runs with her son. We are so proud of the amazing progress Tanja has made in a year! Tanja will also receive a gift for being our athlete of a month, congratulations!
