Jodie's athletic career began very late in life as she was a childhood sufferer of asthma. After spending most of her life "on the bench" she decided to change things once she got to college. She began running a mile a day, then 2, then 3. Before she knew it, she was running local 10k road races and placing in triathlons throughout the Boston area. That was the beginning of Jodie's love with fitness. From there she never looked back.
