Athlete Accomplishments: March 2020

If this post has a spirit animal, it would be an overly-enthusiastic lab/cattle dog mix. There is an abundance of exclamation points. But after a month of disappointments in cancelled races and anxiety over public health and employment, we all need a celebration of accomplishments, big and small. 

I am extraordinarily fortunate to coach an amazing cohort of athletes. They continue to work hard despite cancelled races and added life stress. 

Jessica started running again pain-free after dealing with an ankle injury!

Mark ran his highest mileage month ever (234 miles)! He also ran a virtual 5K with perfectly even splits; this was his third fastest 5K ever in 19:07.

Pete raced the Publix Half Marathon with a course PR of 2:07 in early March! 

Laura E has consistently sustained higher mileage, even after her race was cancelled!

Katie has stayed focused on her running even after her race was cancelled!

Eric has continually increased his base level of mileage in preparation for his first marathon!

Tom has consistently run higher mileage while also completing several strong tempo and fartlek runs! In February, he ran a 10K PR of 44:50!
