Meet Summerville Half Marathon Coach: Sandy
When did you start running? I started running in 1993
What inspired you to begin running? A friend. She encouraged me to go with her so we could chat more. I also had just become a vegetarian and knew I needed to continue with some kind of exercise post high school. ( and I am one of those people who likes to sweat).
What is your favorite type of workout? Tempo runs, speed workouts, and yoga.
What is your most embarrassing running moment? When I have fallen and gotten road rash. Embarrassing and it hurts. Ouch!!!
What are you most excited for this training program? I am excited for this training program because I love to encourage people and motivate them to do more that what they think they are capable of. Some folks totally under estimate themselves. I soooo enjoy watching other people succeed. It makes my heart happy.
The Summerville Half Marathon Program begins Wednesday, November 9th. We will be training for the Charleston Half Marathon, a local favorite! You can join us for an information meeting at the store Wednesday, November 2nd at 6:00pm.
