Its been a few weeks since I hurt my back and had to ease off of the running. I was out last Tuesday with the team and things went really well, although I did not fully complete the 10 klm training, I did manage to get most of it done and I had little to » Read More

My name is Tracy Cosgrove, I have lived in Halifax for the past ten years. I am the mother of a beautiful 16 year old daughter and also step mother to two amazing teenagers. My husband and I live a very hectic life. I work in a job I truly enjoy, but one that keeps me very busy with a fair amount of travel. I am not entirely new to running. I have dabbled in the sport on and off over my adult life, but have never managed to stick to any form of routine exercise plan. In the last few years, with the demands of work, home and family life, I have pretty much let exercise go entirely, other than the nightly walks with our dog. Simply put, I have become one of those people who lives a sedentary lifestyle. I have joined Team Myles to help me get back on track. I would like to set a better example for our children and improve my overall health. I work well in a team environment and enjoy a good challenge. I am looking forward to changing my lifestyle and to being part of this great opportunity Tracy.
