"Hey guys, Karina is gearing up to take over the shape-up blog soon, so you&amp;amp;#8217;re about to get to know a lot more about her. Meantime, here are are a few fun facts about the lovely Karina Arrue!1. She&amp;amp;#8217;s running her first 5K on April 16th. She admits to slacking on the training lately though, so she&amp;amp;#8217;s excited for you guys to help keep her on track! 2. She can&amp;#x27;t live without peanut butter, cheese or ranch-flavored soy crisps. 3. She&amp;amp;#8217;s a self-proclaimed foodie&amp;amp;#8212;and regularly whips up everything from fancy cakes to hearty soups. (Yum!) &amp;amp;#8220;Will this interfere with my shape up goals?&amp;amp;#8221; she wonders. 4. She admits to not knowing how to do a push-up correctly: &amp;amp;#8220;My elbows lock every time. I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s all in my head, but it sucks. I will overcome this!&amp;amp;#8221; (I have no doubts, Karina!) 5. She teaches creative writing on the weekends at an arts academy in New Jersey. (Maybe you&amp;amp;#8217;ll grace us with some shape-up poetry, K?) 6. She comes from a big Latin family. &amp;amp;#8220;My mom is Puerto Rican, and my dad is Panamanian. This means 20 million relatives and a bunch of women I consider aunts, even though they&amp;amp;#8217;re really just overgrown cousins,&amp;amp;#8221; she says. 7. She&amp;amp;#8217;s a problem solver by nature. 8. Her favorite workouts are kickboxing and Pilates&amp;amp;#8212;but she&amp;amp;#8217;s excited to try new things! (Careful what you wish for, Karina! I&amp;amp;#8217;m making you come to a Spin class with me soon!) 9. She&amp;amp;#8217;s pretty awesome. You&amp;amp;#8217;ll see! Now that I&amp;amp;#8217;ve introduced her, tell Karina a few things about you! I&amp;amp;#8217;m sure she&amp;amp;#8217;d love to start getting to know you all, the way I have. So, spill it: Tell us 3 fun facts about yourselves. P.S. This is Karina: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
