How Ellen got started
"I am a runner and have completed multiple marathons and four ultra marathons. I also enjoy competing in shorter distances (5K to 10K), and with instruction from Tom Tellez (former University of Houston and Carl Lewis' Coach), I started winning age group awards -- but we're not saying which age group!"
Running Clubs/Memberships:
- Al Lawrence Running Club
- Houston Area Road Runners Association (HARRA). In 1996, I was on a team of HARRA master's women who established a Guinness Book of World Records record for the masters women's 100 x 1-mile relay.
- Power in Motion (PIM) which is affiliated with HARRA.
- Kenyan Way training on Saturday mornings.
With a gentle push from my long-time friend, Carl Lewis (Olympic Champion and Author of "One More Victory Lap" (1996), I began organized strength training and used a Personal Trainer. I enjoyed my own results so much, I decided to get certified and help other people meet their health and fitness goals.
