Fit Milwaukee welcomes Sherry Wilde and she shares her first triathlon experience. You can find her on Twitter as @sherrywilde.
If you would have asked me four years ago to go for a run, I would have chuckled, grabbed my book, and taken a seat while you went for your run. I was not a runner, or much of anything that involved exercise. I might throw in a work out DVD once in a while or go for a walk around the neighborhood on a nice day. But given the choice, I would prefer to do anything but exercise.

Stephanie is a 31-year-old mother of one 9-year-old girl, a registered nurse, an on-again/off-again smoker (mostly on), and a moderate drinker. She would like to Represent for all of us out there who are, shall we say, more moderate in our fitness goals. Her goal is to keep it real and serve as a voice for those of us who will likely never run a half-marathon, let alone a full, but who struggle to maintain at least a moderate regimen.

Erica Conway can relate to the saying, “The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start, ” coined by John “the Penguin” Bingham. She often jokes that she is a plowhorse amongst gazelles, as most of her running friends are much speedier. She doesn’t mind being the slowest, she’s out there having fun, trying to stay fit, just trying to keep up with the cool kids.
