NY, NY NATALIE MORALES AND ERICA HILL OF NBC’S TODAY SHOW TO HOST 2015 MORE/FITNESS/SHAPE WOMEN’S HALF-MARATHON on Sunday April 19th Starting at 8:00 am! Be sure to tune in for full race coverage.
Not only will Natalie and Erica be hosting the half-marathon, they will be running in it. XTreme XTraining has received confirmation as invited and credentialed press for this monumental women's fitness event. My plan? To film sections of the race course and half-marathoners as an embedded journalist. I'm now in training to keep up with the other runners and I've got the road shoes to prove it!

I actually appeared in More Magazine for "The Gift I Gave Myself" and the CBS News segment "Reaching for More" where I discussed the joys and challenges of learning a new athletic skill which at the time was Ice Skating. More is VERY proactive in empowering women to strive and achieve so they are the perfect partner for this half-marathon event. If you want to sign up for this 13.1 mile women's-only race through Central Park, do so quickly. In my past experience with this event, the 10,000 cap fills up quickly. Details and links are below.
