Mostly this is about me… Let’s be honest… there is only an “us” when I’m running with others.
I love to run! Specifically running outdoors on trails, but I’m also flexible… I’ll also run on roads, track, and paved walkways – if there is a view – even if it is a view of trees and moss.
I love to run with others; it is way more fun that way. We laugh, tell stories, discuss running, life, kids, pets, whatever comes up. I also like history and natural history, plus current events. Ah heck, I’ll pretty much talk about anything!
I’m a proud member of the Bastion Run Club and the Nanaimo Track and Field Club (masters division). When I joined these clubs, it was like I found “my people”! They are all enthusiastic about running, be it just casual or competitive, and love to support each other and socialize! What is not to like about that? I have found that by being a member of these clubs and through the coaching received, I have been able to up my coaching game!
I’m a BCRPA certified Group Fitness Coach with specialties in Boot Camps, Outdoor Fitness, and Older Adult Fitness. In addition, I continue to update my knowledge and have taken courses and workshops on weight training, fascial release, working with tweens, and working with people with chronic conditions. I’m qualified and ready to teach and coach!
I’m currently leading group fitness classes a couple of times per week as well as running once a week at the track and tossing in a few trail-runs whenever possible.
I used to run a fun event called the Nanaimo Bar Trail Run, but that kinda fizzled. During this time of COVID, this might not be a time to bring it back, but then again, if you want to get outdoors and explore… send me a text or an email (see right).
