I coach: 5K-Half Marathon-Marathon at Run On! Coppell

Background: I have been running/racing for 18 yrs. I discovered running as part of a weight loss journey and am SO grateful to my husband for encouraging me to take that first step!

Years Coaching & Philosophy: I have been coaching for about 13 years.  My philosophy is simple: “Follow the plan, Respect the Plan” – I use these words often as so many times peeps will want to do more or do less for various reasons.  You wouldn’t bake a cake without following a recipe, why do that to your body?  Following a plan keeps you accountable, safe, and successful!

Best advice for new Rogues: Don’t be afraid to ask questions!  We are here to help you achieve your goals, whatever those may be.

Most memorable run/race:  As most of us do, I started with run / walk.  The first time I ran 30 minutes without stopping or walking I couldn’t believe it!  I came home so excited and after telling my husband he said “You are ready for a 5k!”  I asked: “How far is that?”  😊

Interesting fact: I have 7 brothers and 2 sisters. Never a dull moment growing up!
