Back To Reds

No Finish Line Fitness

Coffee & Chat with the Coach

Good morning—and Happy Good Friday.

It always feels a little strange to say “happy,” but when you really stop and think about what today

represents, it’s a day that should fill us with gratitude more than anything else.

A little over a month ago, I made what I’d call a leap of faith.

Despite some inconsistency in my running, I signed up for one of my favorite local races—the Reds Shoe

Barn 5 Miler.

This time felt different.

Because I wasn’t sure where my running really stood.

So I went back to the basics and built a simple 5-week plan focused on preparation, not pace.

400-meter intervals

Hill repeats

Easy runs Most of it was on the treadmill—and it humbled me.

But I stayed consistent.

Then I got outside… and everything clicked.

Better pace. Stronger feel. Solid finish.

The work is working.

I don’t have a time goal.

I’m simply prepared.

And sometimes—that’s enough.

Have a Happy Easter.

God Bless,

Coach
