Background and Experience: Cherie is a fourth year Get Fit Atlanta member. She began running in 2001 to get fit and lose weight. Prior to 2001, Cherie had never participated in any type of athletics and would have never dreamed she could accomplish what only “elite” athletes do—run a marathon! Since she started running Cherie has run numerous 10K’s, 5K’s and a 15K, the 2006 and 2008 Ekiden Relays, several half-marathons and most notably the 2006 Chicago Marathon, 2007 Inaugural ING Georgia Marathon, 2007 Detroit International Marathon, 2008 Chickamauga Marathon, and 2008 Rocket City Marathon. Her love of running and physical fitness has increased as has her weekly mileage. When she is not running she is working out or spinning at her local gym. What Cherie lacks in speed she makes up for in enthusiasm and determination. She is always ready to offer encouragement and a helping hand so that others can achieve their running goals.
