Liz Zélandais is a formerly overweight couch potato who has now completed five marathons, one half-Ironman distance triathlon, and several Richards Simmons videos. She is the author of the book Bodycraft: Creating the Body You Want While Loving the Body You Have. While moving from California to Texas in 2002, Liz (blessed with no sense of direction) arrived in Madison instead—where she has lived happily ever after. Email Liz at lizagna@yahoo.com.
