ENDURANCE ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

DEBBIE GADDIS

(Pictured on the right with blue stocking cap below)

Congrats to Debbie Gaddis for completing her first 10k run this past weekend at the Habitat Home Run.  She completed the run at 59:51 minutes and placed third in her age group. Her overall pace was 9:39 per mile, which is a great pace for the distance.

Debbie runs out back and is often asking me questions about our programming and workouts. She has made great strides and confidence in her running acumen and efforts. She always provides me updates on her runs and every week she gets stronger and faster in her runs.

Our community is extremely grateful to have athletes like Debbie who keeps moving and never quits no matter what workout or distance is in front of her that day. Debbie you have accomplished so much, and you are going to keep improving every day.
