My First Coach

Today, despite Tropical Storm Fay, Coach Debita & the FRC Team decided to forge ahead and begin our 1st day of training. Priscilla, Espy, Heredes, Marcy, Peter, Debby, Joe and I didn't let a little thunder and lightening hold us back! On a personal note, it was very special. I've never had a coach. Growing up, when I tried to be on the track team, gymnastic team, cheerleading squad & softball team - I was told, "Maybe you shouldn't" (because I was always sick). Coach Debita is different. She's only told me, "I can." I have always wanted to cross a finish line, but never had someone tell me I could. Today was a new day.

Girl! You were right up there next to Espy! Those people that told you that you could not, had no clue. I was very impressed. I was the opposite, nobody else told me I couldn't, I did. I always felt too weak to do it, thought I never could until Coach Debby helped me realize that, with effort and training, EVERYONE CAN.
I love my coach!!!

I am so excited to be able to collaborate in this way. As I read my bible last night I started to dream of all the cool things we will get to do together. I hope I can continue to motivate and lift you guys up. I loved training with you all!! What an awesome team.

Interesting, I love to run but haven't heard of one of those events. Good for you guys, the sense of accomplishment is the best motivator. I pray for your success and just doing it!

What's the sunrise to sunset relay? Do you run from one city to the other, or literally from surinse to sunset? I can't be sure because I've heard of the crazy races Deb has done.
