TESTIMONIALS

I’ve Learned So Much

“Misty is a great teacher, coach, mentor, and example to anyone aspiring to get started or better themselves to run. It’s amazing to see her bring so many people together who share the same passion and aspirations, and to get them to achieve the same goals, but also different goals at the same time. I’ve learned so much from her, and I absolutely cannot wait to see what is next!”

Shannon

Judgement Free Zone

“Coach Misty runs a judgement-free zone. She tailors programs to suit what you are capable of, and you never feel inadequate if you are slower than someone else. I’ve been part of groups that almost made me feel bad for not keeping up — not this group. Misty also knows her stuff. This isn’t someone who decided to coach just because she’s run a few races. She’s certified, knowledgeable, and it shows.”

Sandra

Truly Cares

“Misty is simply amazing!!! Not only is she knowledgeable, she truly cares. You can tell running — and helping others reach their goals — is truly her passion.”
