Background and Experience: Erica is a returning fifth year member of Get Fit, with this being her third year as an assistant coach. She ran track in high school and was a consistent fifth and six place finisher in meets. In 2004, Erica decided she wanted to run a 10-K race. (Never mind the fact she hadn’t raced in eighteen years). She placed third in her age group in the Alpharetta Mayor’s Challenge 10-K! With this result, Erica set a new goal of finishing a marathon. She joined Get-Fit after realizing she needed support & guidance. She reached her goal in her home state of Maryland in 2005, with over twenty family members and friends cheering her to the finish. Erica also hosts winter runs in the Windward Parkway area since she works in Alpharetta and knows of many hills.
