Kortni, e-mail me so I can get you your gift certificate!!!
So, you may have noticed a little silence from this side. I actually missed writing Coach's Corner this week... well, it was for a good reason! Well, two good reasons. First, my hubs is actually taking a couple weeks off from his ridiculous work schedule, so things are running a little differently around here. And secondly, I have a lot of runners accomplishing *firsts* this weekend, and so I've spent my time this week focusing on individuals and making sure nerves aren't out of control! These ladies have put in the training, now it's time to reap the rewards!
Lots of people to wish a great run to this weekend, so please do so in the comments!
-My cousin, Amy, and my sister-in-law, Anne, will both be running their first half marathon this Saturday in Kentucky. I'm honored to have played even a small role in that and absolutely cannot WAIT to hear about them crossing the finish.
-My friend, Denya, who I've helped coach, will be running her first half marathon this Sunday at Heels and Hills. And my friend, Holly, who I've also coached, will be running her first 10k this Sunday, also at Heels and Hills. Cannot wait to see them both this Sunday. They are totally ready!
-And a few shout-outs to other people doing big *firsts* this weekend... Heather will also be doing her first 10k (and coincidentally has been training with Holly while being coached by my fabulous partner-in-running, Sherry). And to Keelie, a fellow blogger, who will also be joining us all at Heels and Hills for her first half marathon.
There will be loads of other runners there that I know and love, as well, and I'm looking forward to being there with them.
And it's a big Sunday for me too. It will be my 13th 13.1, and it will be my first *official* time pacing! Sherry and I will be pacing the 2:45 group to the finish at Heels and Hills. I am really excited. Although I've paced a couple of friends, being an official group pacer will be a new experience for me. I am very much looking forward to it!!! And I'm looking forward to giving you a great report after the event!!!
On a non-runner, note... wishing a good race to my brother and his wife as they take on BikeMS (a 2-day, 153 mile ride).

Aw yay!!! I really like this post - several of my friends are on it!!!! Can't wait for this weekend!
Good luck pacing! I don't think I could do that. You are amazing!
This is THE weekend for racing! Obviously Texas is busy, and then all of us Oregonians are running together. I can't wait to hear how great everybody does!
For all of the runners: Good luck - have fun!!
i forgot you were pacing. good luck! i'm soooo impressed by pacers. i'm way too "selfish" of a runner to be able to do it myself.
Lesley,
You are the best coach ever... seriously!! I never thought I could ever be a "runner" but I love running!!!! Thanks for all your help! And I can't wait to see the after race post!!!!
Love ya!
Good Luck to everyone running this weekend!!!
Can't wait to read about your pacing experience! I'm thinking about pacing a race one of these days.
Awesome! Lots of firsts! How exciting...you get to lead a pace group!! Good luck! Can't wait to hear about it! :0)
Thanks for the shout out! If the weather cooperates then I'm sure we'll have a great ride. That's awesome about Amy and Anne both running their first half-marathons.
I'll be looking for you on Sunday!
