Bio: I am a stroke survivor and for a long time was told it was not likely I would ever regain strength enough to run again. For the past 3 years I let that be my prognosis and practically gave up. I gained nearly 100lbs and couldn't even enjoy getting on the floor to play with my kids. I decided to start trying to lose the weight and stumbled on Hogwarts Running Club --- well the rest they say is history. I have lost 80lbs and just completed my first 5k placing 4th in my age group and 28th overall.
