Black Friday Special $20 Off Code BF25

I’ve been running and coaching running since the early seventies (1970’s) - running races of all distances from the half-mile (my favorite) to marathons. And I loved every minute of it! Even from High School Running Days, I was certain that I wanted to keep running and its benefits going throughout my lifetime.

Well, life happened, we raised our three kids, while supporting all their interests, running was consequently put on the way back burner. Once we were empty nested, we started thinking about ourselves and what we needed to do to improve our lives. For fitness, I started biking, loved it (still do) and became a spinning instructor. I convinced my wife to ride outside ride bikes. But biking was too constraining for her, she needed a bigger challenge. She started running and was doing great with the sport! We moved to Italy, and it was there that she convinced me to start running with her. Almost immediately the spirit of running returned to my soul!

We have been running together for quite a while now.  Loving it, we have run races in almost every state (46 thus far) and many foreign countries. I have been focusing lately on running coaching.  I am a certified coach and love training others and encouraging them through their fitness journey.  I have coached or mentored more than 20 Fleet Feet Programs.  I organized the MAD Run Monday Group where we do a Monday run from Madison local greenways and the Fleet Feet Madison store.  I feel very fortunate to be able to share the joy of running throughout our community through training programs and local running events.

Thank you Running!!
