Congrats to Kim who joined the “8 weeks to Santa Shuffle” online run program and nailed her event on Saturday. 🙌.

Kim shared with us:

“I began the online running course out of a need to be accountable for training.  I’m a mom of one and a stepmom to two, and they love their sports.  It is SO easy to make an excuse to not go for a run so when the opportunity to do online run training came available, with the Santa Shuffle as the race, I jumped on it.  I loved the different training days, the ability to ask questions, and the fact that I was now accountable to someone (Coach Amanda) to get my runs in. NO excuses!  It worked!

For the past few years, I had been doing my 5k’s in 32 – 33 minutes. At the Santa Shuffle on Saturday, my time was 30:09!  I missed a couple of runs along the way, with some kid activity, but for the most part, I stuck to my plan and loved it!  I am now looking forward to running a half marathon next year, three years after I said I wouldn’t run another one ever again!”

You put in the work, Kim, and it paid off!  Knowing someone is keeping an eye on your log and there to give a little nudge when needed adds that layer of accountability that can make all the difference. Looking forward to seeing what you tackle next!
