Flashes of Panic

One of my former coaches won the Houston Marathon last weekend, and with a pretty damn fast time.

She was still a student at UMass when she spent a red-shirt season (injury, I think) as an assistant coach at the College. Then the head coach’s father died, and he had to go back to Africa for most of the indoor season, so Kelly was our coach for the season, and she assisted for a few more. We thought that was pretty cool, particularly when she was an All-American in the 10,000m for UMass (one of the last All-Americans UMass has had on the track, I think.) I’ve seen her at the last two Olympic Marathon Trials.

I’m still using a lifting program she gave us. I did one of the circuits this morning.
