As a coach I have had almost every request in the book, but I have never had someone come to me and say “I want to run the marathon my husband never had the chance to run”….until last year when Christa Lynn Jones told me that she had lost her husband to brain cancer and wanted to run in his …
We have finally arrived at the “running season” phase of the year! What gets me excited about this weekend is to see so many runners embracing softer surfaces. While the pacing might not be the same as the road, trails and gravel roads are much kinder to your body. Good luck as everyone tackles their own challenges with these races! …
This morning as I look at a relatively short list of who is racing I see all people whom have become pillars of our team. They are always pushing themselves, encouraging others, inspiring ME!

It also serves as a great opportunity to look at the year and the growth you have had but more importantly to focus on the future. I find …
Good luck to Cheryl Miller in her 5K this weekend. Last weekend she knocked out her first ever International Triathlon where she won her age group! This week she is running a little 5K in the middle of her long run. She also happens to be getting ready for the Goofy (that is a race at Disney where you do …
This is probably the last big racing weekend of the season with Toughman in SC Series and Augusta 70.3 AND Ironman Maryland! This quote really spoke to me because I think it is easy to forget about the people out there just getting into the sport and how daunting it can be during your first or even second half Ironman. …
