Coaching beginning runners has been one of the most rewarding experiences for me. The opportunity to meet and know so many wonderfully inspiring and dedicated men and women who work hard every day to reach their goals of finishing a half marathon or marathon is nothing short of amazing. I enjoy being able to share my running experiences and personal advice and often see my own story as I watch others achieve what they once thought to be impossible. I became an RRCA Certified Coach in April of 2013.
You’re not alone in your training – we’ve all been where you are, and I want to help you every step of the way. I believe everyone has a story worth listening to and we can all grow and learn from one another. Running is unique in that we can do it alone or we can do it with group. Part of what I love most about training with a running group is the camaraderie that is formed, and I want to create that for my readers. Welcome!
