In the mean time, I’ll continue to experiment on trails, and likely be talked into running a few more marathons ~ just for fun! I fully intend to be that little 80-year-old woman running on the beach some day. It’s a direct line to my power, and my way to release stress and tension, and connect to my body. Running (and moving in general) is more than a passion. Over the last few years, I’ve begun to run trails and ran in the Grand Canyon twice – once from the South Rim to the North, and then nine months later, from the North Rim to the South, and back. I’ve also dabbled in sprint and olympic distance triathlons but thus far, found the run to be my true love. I’ve run countless shorter races and at the moment, twelve marathons (including Boston, twice) with a 3:16 best (NYC) and a handful of 50k’s. Within the hour I signed up for the Seattle full (finished in 3:45). An out of shape and over-weight co-worker recommended that I start with a half, as the full is too hard. It was in 2000 that I decided to train for, and run my first marathon. I had run before then, but periodically, at midnight, as a study break ~ so I don’t count that. Partially as a stress release, and if I’m being honest, to mend a broken heart.

We’ll observe you running and/or walking, and then replay the video in slow and stop motion to get a good look at the basic mechanics of your movement. We’ll video tape you in motion – from each side, front and back.

No matter what your movement practice, seeing the video can provide clues and help to make you more efficient and less prone to injury. No shower, make-up, or blown out hair required. A video session is a mere moment in time (not endless torture) and is hands down the best tool there is to improve running form and get to the bottom of any aches, pain or injuries. There are not many people who actually delight in being taped AND it’s not that bad. And yet, the mere mention of video taping can cause dread to rise. Video evaluation is a very powerful tool to help you correlate what it “looks” like to what it “feels” like. You’ve got a picture in your mind of how you run, walk and move.
