Monik Maiello

My name is Monica Maiello (MoniK) I am from Caracas-Venezuela. I moved to Weston, Florida in March 2016 looking for a better future for me and my two sons. I am an Architect with 25+ years of experience and currently working in the Construction field that have been always my passion. Since I was a kid, I always love sports. I practiced Tennis, Volleyball and hiking. I love to be outdoors to recharge my soul and body from the daily routine. My running journey started in my earlys 30’s back in 2006, when with a group of amazing friends, we founded a running group called …CON TODO in Caracas. During almost a decade 2006-2016 we accomplished as a team a lot of races including my First Miami Half Marathon in 2007 (My best performance PR 2:04). The same year with the same enthusiasm we ran New York City Marathon as a Team of 25 people and that was the MOST transforming experience ever! Since then, I have been running mostly for the pleasure to socialize, be healthy mentally and physically and the most important reason TO HAVE FUN!!! I have ran 6 half marathons including Miami, New York Half twice and Berlin Marathon in 2008. I Joined FIT in December 2016 in the latest weeks for the Miami Half Marathon Training 2017 as a coincidence when I was trying to Rebuild my life here in my new City. Since day 1 I was greatly welcomed to this amazing family, I finished the training and Complete my Second Miami Half Marathon under the pacing and guidance of Coach Luis and all the amazing friends that each day have become a special and important part of my life. Now, I have the opportunity to gave it back and help as much as I can to bring joy, happiness, camaraderie and to much laugh, miles and smiles to whom want to be part of a bunch of friends Getting FIT while enjoy life…. Looking forward to add more and more HAPPY people to our family and set amazing GOALS together !!! Hugs and Kisses… My mantra: “ El que sale llega …” “ the one that comes out arrives”
