welcome!
hi friend!
my name is Sofia Johnson, and I’m someone who wants to help you find your stride and run your race in all aspects of life! my story begins here in my home state of Florida, where I found running my sophomore year of high school, never looking back. I quickly became a devoted athlete and underwent a lifestyle change, seeking to advance health and fitness in my life. running empowered me, gave me a story, and inspired my college major and career! now, I'm an exercise physiologist by training, a nonprofit community health advocate by calling, and a Tampa turned Naples girl!
my strides in the realm of health and fitness have made me a part of a community - and that’s why I started this website! online is one of the most prevalent “communities” of our time, and through the web, I want to connect with people and build a team, even if it isn’t in the traditional sense. I believe that teamwork isn’t an ideal reserved for athletes, it’s inclusive for anyone looking to better themselves and others in the process. my hope is that through this site, people feel inspired, valued, and part of a community! you’ll find recipes, blog posts, encouragement, and so much more… I’m glad you’re here!
