26: Cheryl Brown
Wondering about how to start running or perhaps how to run longer? Then you’ll want to hear my running coach, Cheryl Brown, share her story and how she went from running to the end of the block to changing many lives through the gift of running. Cheryl didn’t start running until she was 47 and, today at 52, not only is she running strong, but she is a personal trainer, running coach and group exercise instructor.
Or, perhaps you’re in a running rut and looking for inspiration. No matter how you’re feeling, or what you’re looking for, you won’t be disappointed hearing Cheryl’s story. And if you are, and you have time, tell me why. :-)
