Inspire, Motivate, Educate

After more than 20 years of running Kari is still an avid athlete. She has gone from a competitive horseback rider in her teens to a competitive age group triathlete as an adult. Due to the demands of training for long distance events, she became interested in ChiRunning after she noticed the toll the training was taking on her body. She became a certified Chi Running instructor in March of 2007 after incorporating the techniques into her training for several years. She is currently working at Triangle Sportsplex and New Millennium fitness as well a being a high school classroom teacher.

She is also a USA Triathlon Level II coach and as well as a AFAA personal trainer and holds a nutritional certification through SCW.
