Dedication to Fitness and Health -

Dawna personifies the fitness-as-a-lifestyle approach to living by recognizing that our personal dedication to fitness and health is something that we need to adapt as our lives change.  For Dawna, as for many women, those changes can be prompted by the decision to start a family. There's probably no life event that will squash your work-out routine quicker than having a baby...and rightfully so! But getting back into your fitness groove can prove particularly challenging, especially in the first years of your baby's life. Dawna's addressed these challenges personally in Women's Running Magazine  and has bravely offered her own fitness challenge as an example to busy moms everywhere.     That's one of the reasons why she's been so passionate about The Women's Half Marathon, an event that will be held in St. Petersburg, Florida, that her Women's Running Magazine is sponsoring.
