Lisa Harp
I have been a runner for over 20 years. I guess that is why
my license plate reads "HAF2RUN" because I just don't feel
myself if I'm not running for a purpose. I love to coach
because it gives me great fulfillment to be able to
encourage others to love the sport as much as I do. One of
my most memorable events is when I ran the Boston Marathon
in 2003. During the race I met another Boisean and we ran
the whole event together. She is now one of my bestest
friends. The friendships I have made through running have
been amazing. I have always said "I have never met a runner
I didn't like". So my coaching advice to all of you is "keep
on keeping on" and just "get r' done". You'll never be
disappointed doing a run...just when you don't!!

My first long distance event was in 2006. My
marathon-running friend from Texas was coming for a visit,
and I did my first half-marathon with him. Since then, I
have been running for health and fitness. I joined Boise
RunWalk in 2009 and completed my first marathon. I am proof
that if you don't quit, you'll make it to the end of the
race. Boise RunWalk provides a community of people who can
help you prepare for a race and help you reach your goals.

I've enjoyed running for most of my adult life but when I
turned 50 I started training for long distances. Running
helps me enjoy good health and feel great while meeting lots
of new friends. Running and coaching with BOISE RunWalk
provides me an outlet to return the help so many others have
given me. A few of my memorable athletic events

the sport of running and walking or who are returning to the
sport following a long layoff. An important ingredient to

John's testimony
"As
a veteran marathoner, I can say
the BOISE RunWalk training program is better than any I have
experienced in Atlanta, Orlando or New Orleans. The coaching
structure, particularly with
the team of coaches, the stature,
talent and teaching ability is head and shoulders above anything I
have encountered. And the seminar
training is superb. Great job!"
"In a way, cancer doesn't have to defeat you.
Cancer can release you, to really go for it! This is why I run."
- John Hubert, 2007
"We
claimed the course,
the course didn't claim us!"
