Coaching Via Facebook

June 5, 2011 - Alameda, CA
The last time I saw Juvy was when we were in the 4th grade.  That was a long, long time ago on Guam during the 1975 - 1976 school year.  Fast forward three decades and through the magic of Facebook, we reconnected.  Earlier this year, Juvy posted on Facebook that she was "talked" into running a half marathon.  I reached out to her to wish her the best, but it soon turned out that we kept in touch on a regular basis.  I enjoyed coaching her through the good and the bad even though we live on opposite sides of the country.  After it all, she completed her first ever race, the See Jane Run Half Marathon in Alameda, CA, in 2:32:08! Now she's looking forward to running another half marathon this fall! Congratulations, Juvy and welcome to the growing running population!  You're awesome!
