From runner to race director!

Hiya, Zaadzthletes!

So excited to read about everyone's experiences in 2007!

Personally, 2007 was a great year for me. I ran a bunch of races, including two marathons. I also took on the role of “coach” by working as a pace leader for two local marathons. What a blast! Got to meet fantastic runners, event planners, and really push myself to the next level while being awed by the way my fellow runners (many first-timers) stepped up to the daily challenge of  crosstraining and a rigorous run.

In 2008? Time to fulfil my decade-long vision of creating a race! Also, will set a PR for the marathon and the half. Finally, I want to take up climbing - had a brief taste last year and loved it!

OK, would love to know how everyone's doing. Let's get our goals down in writing!

In the spirit of power, courage and fun,

- Jen

hey Jen, sounds like you did have a great  2007 year of athletic movement! The two marathons are impressive … I have similar running goals for 2008 - a half and hopefully one marathon. Last years was less about running and more about upper body with sea kayaking and a bit less running than usual.

This winter I hope to get in more snowshoeing, snowboarding and XC skiing.

Hi Tom,

Great goals for this year! Which races are you planning on running? Where did you kayak last year? Hope you've been able to enjoy the recent snow!

All the best,

Jen

Jen,

Can't recall..you in the Bay Area? If so you ought to get together with the Pacific Striders. Tell Thom Trimble I sent ya. He is a fantastic guy and they would help you with the ropes of setting up and doing your own race.
