I started my running journey in 2019 because my husband started running. I initially thought I wouldn\u2019t like it because I was never a runner, but boy was I wrong! I signed up for the Woodlands Fit half marathon group and just loved it! The following year I joined the full marathon group and have been there ever since. I learned I loved running with the wonderful people I met through my run family!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of my running family, Woodlands Fit, I\u2019ve completed eight full marathons, an ultra marathon, an Ironman, and several half marathons. Every week I look forward to Saturday\u2019s long run because I get to spend time with my running buddies! Having good friends to run with has made running a favorite form of exercise for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

This will be my first year as a head coach after a few years serving as an assistant coach. I\u2019m excited to be a part of the coaching team and to help you get across the finish line with a smile on your face! Remember to follow your plan and trust your training. The plan is designed to help you cover those miles, so don\u2019t worry about the distance.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1563902631417{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"4172\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1789248644617{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.usafit.com\/woodlandsfit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/redbar.jpg?id=3317) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Mariela Rodriguez\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Chapter Leader\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1563902631417{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"4121\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1688749778096{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.usafit.com\/woodlandsfit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/redbar.jpg?id=3317) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Ram Rajagopalan\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Chapter Leader\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][vc_column_text]Welcome to Woodlands Fit. I started running seriously in 2010 upon returning from the Middle East. To begin this journey I joined a 5 Mile running group and continued on to the 10 Mile group the following year. I joined Woodlands Fit Half Marathon group in 2012 and in 2014 moved to the Marathon group. Over the years I have slowly added various marathons to my portfolio; in total I have completed around 22 marathons. Being part of Woodlands Fit allowed me to expand into other endurance events such as biking and triathlon. I have completed several long distance bike rides and a couple of ultra marathons and finished 3 Ironman Triathlons in the last several years. I enjoy combining vacation plans and marathons at the same time where possible. My longer term goal is to complete all 50 states if time permits. Looking forward to meeting everyone and joining you in your endurance journey.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1563902631417{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][vc_single_image image=\"3962\" img_size=\"large\" alignment=\"center\" css=\".vc_custom_1590865479682{background-image: url(http:\/\/www.usafit.com\/woodlandsfit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/redbar.jpg?id=3317) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}\"][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Melissa Holloway\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:26px|text_align:left|color:%23105677|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_custom_heading text=\"Chapter Leader\" font_container=\"tag:h2|font_size:20px|text_align:left|color:%233a3a3a|line_height:2\" use_theme_fonts=\"yes\"][vc_separator color=\"custom\" align=\"align_left\" border_width=\"3\" el_width=\"20\" accent_color=\"#105677\"][vc_column_text]Woodlands Fit is an amazing group of people who come together each Saturday morning during the season to share time and training as we prepare for marathons, half marathons, and races of other distances.
