Luis Paz

Hello my FIT Family. My name is Luis Paz and I am from Cartagena – Colombia. I moved to Florida in 2005 and currently resides in Weston, FL. I am married and have two beautiful children. Have a bachelor degree in Business and a Master degree in Supply Chain Management. Currently working at AHS Residential as a Procurement Process Analyst. Running became part of my life in 2016 one day that I was in the park with my son and asked me to play soccer and to teach him how to ride his bicycle without training wheels. At that time, his request was very difficult for me because of my health conditions with a weight of 265 lbs with no physical activity. This was the motivation that pushed me to be the person that I am right now who made a dramatic change on my eating habits and the incorporation of an active exercise routine that never had it before. Right now I can say that with dedication, motivation, discipline and effort, you can accomplish and achieve your goals. My life has changed completely and I loved the new person that I am. I have been running since 2016 and joined FIT family in 2017 as a member. In 2019 joined the Weston leadership as an assistant coach and FIT race team. I have ran three full marathons, eight half marathons and so many 5K & 10K races. Here are my PR’s: 5K: 20’25” (Feb 2020) / 10K: 45’14” (Feb 2020) Half Marathon: 1Hr 39’ (Oct 2019) Full Marathon: 3Hr 29’ (December 2019) Friends in Training (FIT) has helped me to become a better runner and the opportunity to meet and develop new friends that have contributed with my improvement with their support. I am here to help you to achieve your next running goal. Take care. Luis Paz
