"Several years ago, I failed my Air Force fitness test; I was in school and not eating correctly. I decided I needed a new goal to keep me going. I thought about it and I wanted to do a run in every state in America, and sat down and made a long range plan," said Sergeant Umscheid. For those just getting started or needing additional help, she has a recommendation: "Find out what works for you and start this week by getting out and walking a minute, then run a minute. Stick with your goals, have a plan and keep moving," said Umscheid. (U.S. Air Force photo by Lt. Col. Stan Paregien)
