This week's featured blogger is someone I met about a year ago. She and I connected before I knew any bloggers in person. My first impression of Kat was that this girl was beautiful. She is super fit and kind on the inside as well. I think I just assumed that she was one of those people who was just naturally fit. I was shocked to find out that Kat has worked really hard to get where she is and nothing comes easily. I think it was an eye opener for me in the fitness blogging world. All of us have a story. You need to check out Kat's. She is truly inspirational!
I almost forgot too... Kat is participating in the Marine Corp Marathon this weekend! Good Luck girl!

When and why did you start working out?

What is your workout of choice?
Running or High Intensity Interval Training Circuits/Tabata
What is your favorite race, race distance, and WOD?
My favorite race to date was the Disneyland Half marathon, race distance is the half marathon, and WOD - I attempted crossfit and didn't stick with it, I use various circuits when I strength train. My favorite exercise is the push press and the pushup knee-to-elbow
Good sneakers!
Do you follow any diet or take any specific supplements that complement your workouts?
I eat a mixed ratio of carbs/fat/protein. I aim for .80 g of protein per lb I weigh. I also eat tons of veggies and avoid starches if I can. Through marathon training my body's craved more of those starches and I don't fight it. After training is over, I'm attempting the Whole 30!
What is your favorite cheat food?
Frozen yogurt
What advice would you give someone just starting out?
Start slow and don't compare yourself to anyone but yourself! Set attainable goals that you can achieve and focus on!
What is your best workout memory?
Sub 2 hour finish at my first half marathon and again at half marathon #5
Achieving the 6 half marathons in 6 months, To complete my first marathon, to compete in a figure competition one day!
Tell us something that not many people know about you?
I'm slightly OCD - order makes me happy ;)
