Last Labor Day Jane Magari began running races, before then she says she had trouble with any physical activity, even walking up hills. Five races later and one hundred pounds lighter, Magari says she has gained confidence as she has lost weight and that’s all she has needed to keep hitting the pavement.
“Seeing the results motivates me and wow, running has made a big difference”
Magari uses a journal and a program from Runner’s World magazine to help her win the battle with her weight.

“When I lost weight it was always reaching a destination and reaching a goal weight and then celebrating, thinking I was going to a certain point and that was it... I would gain all the weight back... It's going to be a constant journey for me for the rest of my life to stay healthy.”
Magari’s next goal has nothing to do with numbers on a scale. She’s training for the Mountain Goat this summer. A ten mile, uphill, run. This new challenge even has her family excited and that has her even more motivated. Magari says one of her sons asked if he could wear her finisher’s shirt to school and tell all his friends that his mom ran ten miles.
