FIT4MOM of the Month: Meet Jessica Walden-Gray
Jess attended our Grand Opening Stroller Strides class last March while 8 months pregnant with her daughter, Isabelle. When the doctor gave her the green light to resume activity, Jess returned to Stroller Strides as a Monthly Member. In September, she helped us start our ongoing Run Club as a volunteer Run Leader. This spring, Jess will join our instructor team as a FIT4MOM certified Run Coach. Look for Jess' running programs starting in May!
1) Hometown: Ontario, NY. Just east of Rochester and on the Lake Ontario shore.
2) Kids: Isabelle, 9 months
3) Hobbies: Running, hiking, finding and photographing birds and insects with my husband Ben, singing, my dog Lemon Joy
4) Why I Love FIT4MOM Chapel Hill: I love the community of mothers (and fathers!) that make Fit4Mom Chapel Hill possible. I started coming to classes as soon as I could after Isabelle was born. The community saved me from the physical and emotional isolation of being a new mom in a new town. Added bonus, now I've got guns!
