Introducing Our New Coach

Behind every great runner stands a great coach (or a motivational zombie - a position that is still open by the way). Here at Team Golden Colon, that's certainly the case. So as we enter the final week before the St. Louis Marathon, we thought it would be good if you could meet our coach. We'll let her introduce herself:

Hello there, I'm Lisa, the coach of Team Golden Colon. You may remember me from places like the annual Christmas letter, in which I'm often seen presenting a list of grievances while wearing a ridiculous pair of reindeer antlers. Little did you know that I'm also a preeminent running coach. I'm so fast, I actually caught a possum a few weeks ago. These people could learn from me. Besides, I am a champion - I've even got the medal to prove it.

Now, some of you may be unconvinced. I know, I know, I don't have the typical runner's body. But that's simply because I make sure I'm well fueled. Still not convinced? I humbly submit as proof the amount of sleeping I do after early morning long runs. Surely I wouldn't have to sleep so much if I wasn't right there training my proteges, right?

So there you have it. The secret to the success of Team Golden Colon is me - Lisa the running coach. I'll be right there with them next week in St. Louis, so look for me at the finish line. Wait, what's that? I'm not going to St. Louis? I'm going to the kennel? I hate you people.

Wow, that was inspirational. If you would like to hire Lisa as your running coach, her going rate is a bowl of food, some apple, and 30 minutes rubbing her belly. On a different note, if you'd like to go with Michael to see the Royals play the Tigers on Tuesday, April 17 with some of the proceeds from ticket sales benefiting Team Golden Colon and the CCFA, contact Katie or Michael.
