GROUP INFORMATION
COACH BIO
I have been racing since 1974 and a running coach since 1981 starting with high school girl’s track and field and boy’s cross-country as well as children’s YMCA running programs. I ran for the US Air Force for 7 years competing in track and field and cross-country. I am President of the Georgetown Running Club since 2012 and put on 17-18 races a year. In 2013, I was the Senior Games National Champ in the 5k and 10k and was named to the Texas Senior Games board of directors in 2019. I have run a sub 4 hour marathon in every state and Washington DC. In 2020, I will run a sub 3:30 hour marathon in every state. As of Jan 2020 I have finished 103 marathons all under 4 hours each and 58 of those are after the age of 50. My personal bests: 5k-15:45, 10k-34:20, Half-marathon-1:14:44, Marathon-2:36:22, and 50k-3:47:11.
COACH PHILOSOPHY
It is easier to stay in shape, then to get back in shape. The older you get the more true that is. I am 100% a goal driven athlete and coach. It gives you focus on what is important in life. As a coach, I actually view myself as a goal facilitator. No matter how crazy, hard, or out of your comfort zone, I will help you accomplish your goals. I will never question the goals you select.
GROUP DYNAMIC
This group goes above and beyond to support each other not just at practice but at races. We have all different backgrounds, ages, and abilities and we work together to make everyone reach their goals! We embrace our goals and put the work every Thursday.
ORIGIN STORY
The Sharks were a spinoff from the Tuesday night running group The Jets. This was a play on the musical West Side Story.
