Shawna began her running career as a way to stay in shape coming back from college. She began training in the middle striders group slowly working her way up to the faster group over a number of years. Her first marathon was in 2006 in Portland Oregon finishing in 3:41:00. Since then she has finished 5^th  overall woman in the 2010 Denver Marathon with a time of 3:01:00 and her fastest marathon in Houston 2012 in 2:47:00.

(I'm the one without fingers in his mouth.) I have been running with the Boulder Striders since 2007. I enjoy racing pretty much all distances, from the mile to the marathon. Being fairly new to coaching, I'll be acquiring coachly wisdom as time goes on, so I have no pearls to offer. But I love running, and love helping other runners, so I hope we'll all have fun out there!

I have been running for over 30 years, but coaching for just a few years. For me running is about the competition of racing, staying fit and having fun. We'll work hard in the workouts, but we'll have fun. And maybe cookies and beer after a long run.

Henry can go the distance! Henry is an ultra-runner and has competed in running events of up to 100 miles. Besides his ultra-running, he is truly a giving person (always going the extra 94 miles) and organizes running races to raise much needed dollars for the Orphans of AIDS Trust Foundation in South Africa and Boulder's EXPAND Program. Henry also started Beyond Limits, coaching people with disabilities to run the Bolder Boulder. Henry has been coaching with the Striders since its inception and has been a true inspiration for runners of all abilities.

I started running with the Striders in 2005 and now run with the Running Republic of Boulder (Darren's other group) and coach the Striders Wednesday mornings. I love coaching kids (I coach my daughter's elementary school running group) and adults. Seeing people get fitter, faster and more confident is what it's all about. Oh, and all while having fun doing it.
