Athlete Accomplishments: January & February 2019

Athlete Accomplishments: January & February 2019

Typically, January and February are not big months for racing, but several of the runners I coached ran races in the first two months of 2019. From 5Ks to first marathons, 2019 has started off strong!

I have to praise all of my athletes for consistency and hard work in January and February. January and February are dark and cold months – not the easiest months to go out and run. Several of my runners have completed long runs on the treadmill or in the snow, balanced training with travel, and built back from injury.

Leslie ran her first marathon!

Laura A ran a half marathon!

Lindsey ran a strong trail half marathon!

Pete ran a strong half marathon on a hilly course as the start to an exciting season of 2019 races!

Hayley ran her first half marathon!
