Marathon

Using real food on a run is a good alternative when you just can't stand gels. Rice Pudding can be used as a carb replacement

Long Run Rice Pudding!!

I have been experimenting with different things to take on my long runs and ultimately use during the marathon for carb replenishment. This rice pudding with sugar and cinnamon is one of the recipes I developed to test in re-usable pouches.…

Throwing Up: Using a Yoga Pose for Long Run Recovery

Long Run Agony After a particularly difficult long run, I came home shaky and feeling sick. My legs screamed out for a quick recovery. As I walked in the door, I didn’t know how I was going to get through…

Was this the “Wall”???

Zero Down, 20 to GO See the picture of me smiling above? That was about 15 minutes before the run. Little did I know... If you listen to music while you run, have you ever decided right before you go…

I’m Sherry, a 56 year-old runner (hence the wrinkled!) who has gone from running as exercise to loving the sport. I started around 17 years ago when a magazine article proclaimed that in your 40’s its “Welcome to back fat”! I took a look and lo and behold...there it was!! I determined then to lose 30 pounds and thus started my running “journey”...or torture. At first I could walk a mile, run a mile, walk a mile and gradually (verrrrry gradually) worked up to a half marathon.

I have now completed 3 marathons and 6 half marathons. I talk about my training, and also share the things I am learning as I go along. I have found so many helpful resources as I explore and grow as a runner and can't wait to pass them on to you!

I am a mom to 5 children (all married) and grandma (Nani) of 7. My partner in everything is my husband of 36 years, Dave.

I also have a YouTube channel, and Podcast.

In 2019 I attended a RRCA Coaching Certification course and successfully completed the steps to become a run coach. The main reason I did this was to learn more about running and how to set up my own training and to have confidence about the information I am providing on this website and on YouTube.

Although my passion is running, I am also a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. When I coach, I add strength training specifically for running. I also provide Personal Training services for those who are not runners. Check out my Coaching Services if you are interested.

Please email me sherry@wrinkledrunner.com and I will get back to you.
