So without further ado our first Race & Relax beauty is Shannon Pierce. Shannon, also know as Shay Shay, blogs at Losing Fat and Winning in Life and shared a few words with us about why she joined the Race & Relax crew.
"I am so excited about Race & Relax! I use to be a self-proclaimed "non-runner," but decided to challenge myself in 2009 to run the ING Half Marathon. While I'm not sure I'll ever do a half marathon again (brutal for Shay Shay, but I can check it off my fitness list-yeah!), I have developed a love for the shorter 5K races. I've challenged myself to do at least one 5K a month. I love 5Ks because I can usually find a few girlfriends to do them with me (not so with half-marathons!). When I heard about Race & Relax I just had to register! This is the perfect event for Shay Shay: 5K (right distance), Brunch (I LOVE Brunch!), Relaxation (who doesn't like to relax?), and hanging with friends and meeting new ones. SWEET!"
Thanks, Shannon! We’re so glad to have you and, most importantly, we’re glad that you are moving!
Race & Relax has several wonderful sponsors including The Cherry Marketing Institute, Walt Disney World Resort, The Wine Sisterhood and Pampered By Adrienne. You can learn more about Get Moving! Race & Relax here.

Hey Shannon! Can't wait to see you on the 5th! And, you're soooo right - not too many of my friends are raising their hands for the half marathons - LOL!

I love the goals you've set for yourself! This is my first 5K in a loooong time so it's good to hear you are enjoying them. I am looking forward to the "race" and definitely the "relax" too! :)
Great to e-meet you, Shannon! Looking forward to racing and relaxing with you. One 5K a month? Can I be like you when I grow up?? *Smiles*
Great to meet you! Looks like I may be bitten by the 5K a month (at least) bug too. I look forward to meeting you at racerelax!
Thanks, Ladies! Looking forward to meeting you June 5th and keeping this going!
Shannon,
Can't wait to meet you!
