I have been a competitive athlete all my life, first in gymnastics youth through college and then as a runner and triathlete. I also spent some time in my late 20's and 30's playing competitive league softball. I love the outdoors, horses and dogs. My husband who is a MFH (Master of FoxHounds) is the Master and Huntsman for Oak Grove Hunt, the largest foxhunting club in the West Tennessee area. We have a farm east of Memphis where we have a rotating number of horses and approximately 40 Penn-Marydel foxhounds. My husband has been a competitive equestrian and hunter since boyhood, and it really helps to have a spouse who understands the importance of exercise. I frequently swim, cycle, ride my horses, and incorporate weight-training in my pilates and yoga workouts to maintain my strength and flexibility.
