Race & Relax Beauty: Kristi Cole

With our first Get Moving! Race & Relax event less than two weeks away, we’ve started highlighting some of the lovely participants who will be running or walking and celebrating their accomplishments with us on June 5.

Our next Race & Relax beauty is Kristi Cole. While Kristi does not blog or Twitter, she is a fellow Facebooker, and even more importantly she's Wifey's aunt. We were so excited when we saw that she registered  for the race and we're tickled to introduce her to the Race & Relax crew.

"Hello Fellow “Race & Relax”-ers! I’m a wife, mother of five, a grandmother and I work full time. I enjoy playing tennis, bike riding, walking/jogging. I love the fellowship of family & friends, reading, traveling, music and eating! I’m always looking for a healthy goal to aspire to. I need motivation or I will usually give up when I get bored or don’t see any immediate results. I recently completed a 12 week “Biggest Loser” competition with some co-workers. I was so focused and determined! It was a great way to exercise more than I usually do and to eat right. When I heard the Blogrollers were sponsoring the Race & Relax event, I wanted in! I love their creativity, talent and ability to make things happen! I’ve also been interested in training for a long distance run and this 5k is the perfect introduction. I don’t have much time to blog or twitter; but, I will jump on Facebook when I get a minute or two! Looking forward to meeting you all and enjoying the day together!"'

Thanks, Kristi! 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.
