THE RUNNING LIFESTYLE SHOW
- Kari wanted her own podcast
- Vinnie “schooled” her…told her the way to start a podcast is to just do it!
- For Kari, it’s about making running a part of life
- She talks to people like herself…not as a coach, but to share her journey
CHICAGO MARATHON
- Kari was always an athlete
- Didn’t train and did a walk/run marathon…and she finished it
- Had Serena Scott Thomas on the show prior to the marathon who gave her tips on Chi Running
- It was a difficult race, but she remembered to lengthen and breath
WEIGHT WATCHERS
- In 2001, Kari was living in Stockholm, Sweden
- She had gained weight, at 5’2” she weighed 152 lbs
- She found out her brother was getting married and wanted to lose weight

BACK IN AMERICA
- Kari continued with Weight Watchers and enjoyed the meetings
- Switched over to being a facilitator of meetings and then became public relations contact for about 7 years
