Kathy first joined DCRR as a trainee for the marathon training program during the winter of Snowmageddon. She loved it so much that she kept coming back both as a trainee and coach. Kathy wasn’t always a runner, in fact she hated it! It wasn’t until the birth of her daughter 12 years ago when she found herself overweight and deep in baby blues that she took up running and signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon. Postpartum hormones can make you do crazy things! At the time she was living in Las Vegas and found out just how much fun it is to train during the summer in the desert (it’s like running inside a hairdryer). Kathy has written and performed her one woman show, Marathon Mama, a play about the whole crazy experience. Kathy now owns and operates More Than Miles, a women’s running bootcamp on the National Mall and is also a holistic health coach. Prior to running and coaching she held a variety of positions that ranged from statistician for the federal government, financial analyst at a major casino/hotel, and marketing rep for a boutique wine distributor. When she is not running, Kathy can be found volunteering as a docent at the Folger Shakespeare Library, soaking up theater culture, and hanging out with her husband, Drew, daughter, Ava and their cool cat, Vegas on Capitol Hill.
