Meet Your Program Director Tammie Hardrick

Hi! I'm the program director for the Hinsdale program Tammie.

I'm a runner. Not your typical 0 body fat type, and not a fast runner, but a runner none the less. Not so long ago (2005) I weighed in at 235 lbs. I had a bit of a wake up call and lost 70 pounds with diet and exersize and took up running to help maintain my new found health. I picked up a Jeff Galloway training book, found another like minded person (more on April soonl) and here I am... 4 marathons and nearly countless half marathons later. I ran my first marathon as a celebration to my health and every step I run helps me renew that celebration.

Now I am embarking on a new journey as a Program Director for a Jeff Galloway training program in the beautiful suburbs of Chicago. My goal is to pass on the whisper that started it all to anyone and everyone, that like me, thought a marathon wasn't something they were capable of. So let me pass on the wisdom of a certain goofy little podcaster from the east coast. If I, a formerly over weight, middle aged, couch potatoe could defeat the couch of doom and finish a marathon, so can you!

Come out and run with me! Watch for the Galloway group info soon and lets all cross the finish line, injury free, celebrating life and health!

Interested in becoming a group leader?

Do you love to run? Are you interested in helping others achieve their fitness goals? We are looking for group leaders at all levels. Training will be provided. You just need to be willing to follow the Galloway program and help answer questions and concerns.

And Co-Director April

Nurse by day, Karaoke Diva by night and runner at all times before, after and inbetween! I love to run in rain, sleet, snow, hail, and can even put up with the sun sometimes. I became addicted to running during a stint in the Army. From time to time, I'll even break out in cadence, but I promise to keep it to a minimum lest I offend anyone's sensitive ears. One of my goals is to fnish a marathon dressed as a Hermione Granger from Harry Potter or crack fighter pilot Kara Thrace aka Starbuck from my favorite show Battlestar Galactica. Yes, besides being a running nerd I am a sci-fi nerd. Ok, maybe I won't run in costume this marathon, but the next one I'm donning my pilot space suit.
