Coach Paula and her running buddy/teammate Kelly Powers ran the Carmel Marathon on April 3rd. The marathon is such a tough event. They ran the first half of the race together. In the second half, they both encountered tough patches but pressed on to the finish. Paula finished in 3:53:20 and Kelly in 4:02:10. They were both all smiles at the finish line. This was Paula's personal best on a non-downhill course. This was Kelly's 20th marathon.

Bethanie Roberts ran her first 10K in Carmel Indiana on April 3rd.  She's all smiles nearing the one mile mark on this rather chilly morning.  It was a tough race but she reached her goal of breaking 50 minutes.  Her finish time was 49:34.

Jacob Roberts had a great half marathon in Carmel Indiana on April 3rd.  It was a cold morning but Jacob braved the weather in shorts and a t-shirt.  In this photo, he had just shed his gloves.  He maintained a great pace, overcame some fatigue late in the race, and finished strong.  He finished with an awes...

Bethanie Roberts completed a triathlon training block and competed in the Evansville YMCA Indoor Triathlon. It consisted of a 30 minute swim, 30 minute bike, and a 30 minute run. She worked really hard on the swim and covered more distance than any other female. On the bike, she stayed relaxed and saved up for the run. On the run, she followed her plan of increasing the treadmill speed gradually every few minutes. Her plan worked well because she was completely spent when time ran out.

She finished 2nd among the females. And more importantly, she had a great experience training and competing with her friends Jessica Deckard and Mitzi Howe.

Mitzi finished 3rd overall and Jessica finished 5th overall.

Great job ladies!
