Iron Girl 2010
I am an attorney in OGC and I wanted to share that I participated in the 2010 Aflac Iron Girl Triathlon in Columbia, Maryland on Sunday! Women of all ages and fitness levels took part in the event and I wanted to share the news that I completed my first (and only lol) triathlon which consisted of a 1k open water swim (.62 mile), 29 K bike ride (17.5 miles), and 5.5k run (3.4 miles) and got a cool t-shirt & medal! ? I also raised $1,500 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training organization in honor of a good friend and sorority sister who was diagnosed with cancer last year! All in all it was a great experience! If you are looking for a cool event to support or (for the ladies) to participate in next August Iron Girl is great! http://www.tricolumbia.org/IronGirl/ I wanted to give the Fit Feds program kudos because last spring when I began working out the Fit Feds program gave me a big push. Since I live in Baltimore county my commute to DC is so long it really impacted my ability to stick with a program at home however OPM offered classes during the day like Pilates, belly dancing, and even yoga and the opportunity to start working out while at work which was a tremendous help. That along with the emails and various healthy events really had a positive impact on my efforts to workout and lose weight. I have lost close to 80 pounds is a year and a half and I even became a “stair master” by often walking the seven floors up and down from OGC and I enjoy the messages posted in the stairwell. Again just giving kudos for the support! Thanks! Cylia E. Lowe, Esq.
