Coach: Rebekah Clunie
I never ran growing up, but started running as a fitness goal for a health class in college. Slowly, after struggling to breathe and getting my legs to do with what my mind told me I should be able to do, I started to enjoy it.
I completed my first 5k at the end of the semester and felt great about my accomplishment. I wanted to know what else I could tackle: 10k, 10-miler, 12-miler, and half marathon so far. But my favorite thing to do is log a run whenever I go away; I leave my footprints and take some memories.
Life got busy with two kids so my running shoes were set aside for a bit. After a new size (pregnancy tends to do that) and new shoes later I’m back to running. I still enjoy seeing what I can do and what I can tackle next.
I would like to help you to discover what you can tackle too.
