Patti is our 10k and half marathon instructor. This is what patti has to say about her running career: I watched my sister-in-law run her first marathon in 1997. I remember thinking at the time who whould ever want to do that. I was just exhausted watching the event. Three years later, in January of 2000 I took up running. My goal was to get in shape. I ran my first half marathon in January 2001, and the following year completed my first marathon. To date have I run more than 20 half marathons, 5 marathons, and many 5 and 10k races. I have spent the last few years enjoying running with numerous running partners and for the pleasure of their company, and of helping them reach their goals. About four years ago I started teaching learn to run, which has lead me to teaching 10K Clinics and half marathons. I really do it for the pure thrill of watching someone accomplish their goals, all the while hoping that they will love running as much as I do.
