About Christina

I started running cross country & track in high school during my sophomore year. I had double foot surgeries during my senior year in high school. Although I returned to running as soon as I was cleared, I had to miss my senior cross-country & track seasons. I have been running consistently since that time with the exception of a couple of minor injuries and minimal downtime when I had my children. Over the years, I have increased the distances that I train and race from 5K to the marathon. For me, running is very internally focused. Coaching is an avenue that I love in that it is outwardly focused and allows me the opportunity to give back to a sport that has given me so much. Coaching is also a way of connecting with others and receiving inspiration from thinking through and watching their journey. It has been so rewarding to strategize, hand it over, and watch the process. The philosophy that I take with my athletes is that running is an important part of their lives but is usually not the only thing or the most important thing in their lives. I support the need for flexibility to accommodate life responsibilities, commitments, and goals. The focus is on the whole athlete and how running fits into that picture to provide the upmost enjoyment of the sport, success as defined by the athlete, and longevity in their running future. Having a busy and fulfilled life does not mean running goals have to suffer or can't be achieved. Having huge running dreams and goals also does not mean that family or job commitments and interactions need to be placed on hold.
