Adjusting Your Runs: Give Yourself a Break!

I have been in training since January for various races, including a marathon. Being “in training” has been a lot of fun and has taught me a lot about running…but because I am a very “follow the book” kind of…

Summer Training Re-Cap

I can’t believe I’m actually having to type that it’s coming to the end of the summer. It has definitely felt like summer, though…super hot by Buffalo standards. Most days have been in the 80’s, with the lows not very…

Sub 2- Hour Half Marathon Training

This summer Dave and I are training to run a sub-2 hour half-marathon in September. The plan I am using will actually be combining 2 plans, but written by the same coach. Which I didn’t know when I was putting…

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.
