Coach: Sabrina Limpert
I never would have described myself as “a runner” growing up—in fact, I spent most of my life hating running. That changed when I moved to Frederick four years ago anddecided I wanted to be able to run the local Turkey Trot.
I joined a 5K training group through Charm City Run, and somewhere along the way Idiscovered that I actually love running—especially running with other people. What started as one training group quickly turned into many. Since then, I’ve become a regular in the half marathon training group and recently completed my 4th half marathon. More than anything, I love the encouragement, friendships, and sense of community that running has brought into my life here in Frederick. As a coach, my favorite thing is watching people surprise themselves—whether that means finishing their first 5K, building confidence, or setting a new PR they never thought possible. I know what it feels like to start from “I could never do this,” and I’m excited to help others discover they absolutely can!
