Andrea skated in her first race, the Rollerblade
America Tour, in the summer of 1993. Two years
later she was asked to join Team Skate 2000 as
part of their competitive racing team. Since then
she has accumulated over 75 medals and trophies.
She has skated and completed several inline marathons
including Long Beach, the Northshore Inline Marathon,
Marco Island, and New York. She just recently
won her age division in the Advanced Category
of the Disney Inline Marathon. Andrea has also
completed the 86-mile Athens to Atlanta Road Skate
3 times; been featured on television shows such
as Inline America, Rollerjam, and the children's
TV show Adrenaline; and was a guest on the Geraldo
Rivera show for skating after and capturing a
thief in Miami. Andrea is a full time skating
instructor and coach. " I get a real kick
out of helping people develop their skills and
watching them come across the finish line for
their first time. Sometimes just one little pointer
is all a person needs to improve. Skating faster
is all about technique and using less energy to
go the distance." |

| Cheryl
was at one time the winningest female inline skater
in the world. She was a five-times member of the
United States World Team and a 12-time World Champion.
She is still the USA record holder for the 3000M
track, 15000M track, 3000M road, and 21000M (half
marathon) road events. She has won the New York
100K (1994), the Disney World Marathon (1995),
the Northshore Inline Marathon (1996) and the
Longbeach Marathon (1997). In 1996, she was selected
as the USA Rollersports Athlete of the Year. Despite
all these skating successes, Cheryl is equally
proud of being the single mom to two great boys,
Riley and Travis. She is thrilled to be passing
her Marathon Secrets on to you – the first
of which is that “It takes Heart, Strong
Will, Dedication, and Determination to be a champion
at anything you do in life”. |

| Liz
Miller started "pumping iron" in 1980
to get stronger for lugging around the heavy scuba
gear needed for diving in California's chilly
Pacific ocean. Her focus on bodybuilding brought
home 3 trophies and the eventual realization that
competition was anything but holistic. Diversifying
into other sports, Liz took up inline skating
in 1991 and now is a Certified Instructor, Skate
Tour Guide for Zephyr Inline Skate Tours, and
author of three skating books plus the website
www.GetRolling.com.
Liz discovered Yoga in 2000 and now incorporates
traditional Hatha, Ashtanga and Lyengar poses
into her workout routine. She was quoted extensively
in the December 2002 issue of Yoga Journal in
an article about yoga for inline skaters. |
