Chris  aka "Caylynn"

***************************************************************************************

Caylynn (Chris) is a long-distance WIM from Canada, who enjoys running, strength training and teaching group fitness. 
She loves taking, or teaching a good step class.  She has a degree in biological engineering, but with her passion for
health and fitness she hopes to complete a Masters degree in physiotherapy, nutrition or exercise science.

Chris was recently married (April 22, 2004) in Mexico, on the Mayan Riviera. 
Her husband is an army officer, and a life-long runner.

Chris, herself, used to hate running.  She only started running when she was attempting to join the Canadian military,
as running was not only part of the recruit testing, but would be part of basic officer training as well.
 
Well, Chris didn't join the army after all, but somewhere along the line she discovered that she actually enjoyed running! 
Having suffered through two surgeries in the past year (one to remove a Morton's neuroma in her left foot)
she is now trying to build up enough mileage to train for a half-marathon.
