WE MOVE PEOPLE!

Thanks to No Boundaries 5k (Oct 2012) and 10k (Feb 2013) training I completed my first 1/2 marathon on May 19, 2013. The starting line was very emotional for me knowing that in October I couldn't even walk a lap on the track. Thanks NoBo's I am a committed runner. Marie S.

I'm not gonna lie, those last three miles were a huge challenge for me and what kept me going were thoughts about my NOBO family conquering their own obstacles. Karie was such a great running buddy and encouraged me to listen to my own body (a work in progress!). I am so proud to be a part of a beautiful, motivated group of individuals, under a two inspiring leaders - Coach Kelly and Coach T. Thank you to everyone that came out to support us! It meant so much to me!! Amanda A.

 I just wanted to take a minute to tell you both THANK YOU so much. Words will never convey how much you have both impacted my life. I never dreamed I was really capable of running, and yet.. Here I am, actually doing it. There have been many days that I've been frustrated with my own limitations, but I feel the need to push through and continue on because of you both. Running really does change everything.. but having great coaches make all the difference! I really do feel blessed to have met both of you and can't wait to see what's next! Amy B. I'm so proud of all of you:-) I found great pleasure mentoring with the FF training group and watching all the improvement week after week in running abilities and confidence. How I enjoyed seeing all the smiling faces!!! I'm so proud!!!! Keep running:-) Mentor Karey
