And thats not all!

I was so incredibly proud and excited to check my mail today. My coach, and life motivator is on the cover of my Canadian running magazine! And that's not all, she had a 5 page spread, pictures and an amazing article! I was even mentioned! Well kinda, not really. " Segger coached a number of runners to success at TCC's Coastal Challenge in Costa Rica this January" Yes she sure did!
And that's not all, Gary Robbins who got me into running in the first place is featured in the magazines Elite Q and A section! And that's not all! Fellow competitors Stacey Shand and Margaret Phillips are mentioned in the Route of Fire, Coastal Challenge write up on page 23!

Wow-so cool to know all these amazing athletes. This Canadian trail running magazine will never leave me. So proud of everyone!

Slave to the Puppet Master Once Again!

Well I've been having trouble jumping back in the running saddle. After a great week of R and R after the race I returned to Squamish and quickly jumped on the Olympic band wagon! Watching ridiculous amounts of tv, spending every weekend in Whistler, and crying at Tim Horton commercials. I didn't run for 2 weeks. Since then I've pressed snooze way too many times, and made up every excuse in the book not to go. Fellow runners from the Coastal Challenge are reporting finishing local marathons, and ultras. I was starting to feel guilty!
So my big goal for the summer is the Stormy 50 miler. Thought I could just maintain my fitness and do it on my own. Not the case. I will once again become Jen Seggers personal puppet! I can't wait to log into Training Peaks once again. I can't wait for everyday to feel like a personal achievement! I can't wait to work towards goal, and feel as though I have purpose once again!
