Every Saturday we highlight one of our members from theTRU Tribe Running Team. Meet Karla! If we can do it, so can you!
I picked Karla because she got out of your comfort zone with Jackass doing her longest trail and night trail run, she focuses on her ChiRunning and shares comments in Final Surge about her runs, she has a high compliance rate to her Final Surge plan and is one of the most active people in our TRU TRIBE.
Why did you start running?
I started running when other, mostly team sports, did not work out for me. I decided to try cross-country my junior year of high school. The coach needed people-it was a small program- so I joined.
What age did you start running?
17
How old are you now? (to inspire the others! but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
48
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
Running is much more than moving your legs. No matter your speed, you are doing something good and healthy for your body, your mind, and your soul! Whether I’m pushing myself on the track or taking a nice, easy run through the neighborhood, I always feel refreshed afterwards.
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Do not worry about your speed or what other people may think. Take your time, build up slowly, focus on your form, get some strength training in to smooth out any imbalances. Hire a coach to help you with all this so you don’t fall into bad (injury producing) habits!
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I would take my own advice given to the beginning runner above! 😀
What is your longest race distance and why?
My longest distance so far is a full marathon. It was a “milestone” distance. I did my first one to raise money for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society..
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I would like to do a 50K. (she jus signed up for the Crown King 50K Ladies Training Program!).
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
I really enjoyed the Jackass 31K. It was just the right distance, the course was just challenging enough and the vibe was awesome!
What is your favorite color?
Green
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
As much as I would like to say it is a recovery drink followed by a hearty meal of protein and vegetables, it is really beer and pizza.
Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE 😀
We are very blessed to have such a wonderful running community! This is the first running group I have joined that hasn’t focused solely on racing and speed. Thank you, everyone, for being an inspiration, and thank you Lisa, our fearless leader!.
Every Saturday we highlight one of our members from theTRU Tribe Running Club . Meet Barbara! If we can do it, so can you!
I picked Virginia as she was our first official non local person to join the TRU TRIBE and is one of the most active people in our group by playing along in both challenges and engaging in posts.
Why did you start running?
I was sick and tired of being sick, and tired. I started walking. I later joined OrangeTheory where part of the workout is on a treadmill. I usually power walked; but then decided to start challenging myself with running. I wasn’t really jazzed about running to be honest. At some point in the journey, I decided to do a Tough Mudder Race. They were offering a half which is just 5 miles and I thought, “I could do that”. So I started running.
What age did you start running?
50
How old are you now? (to inspire the others! but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
54
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that I can do anything if I put my mind and heart into it. I just have to be patient..
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Run your own run. Don’t worry about what everyone else is doing, what they say you should be doing, or trying to keep up with them. Listen to your body and find a program that works for you and that you can stick with.
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I would have taken my advice in Question 5. <laughing> I should have not let other runners rent space in my head and impact my running. I should have focused on my own progress and go a bit slower.
What is your longest race distance and why?
Great story. In 2017, I was convinced I absolutely hated running. I just despised it; but, I was determined as hell to make my peace with it. So, that December I decided the only way to make my peace with running was to throw myself all in. I signed up for my first 25K trail race. At the time the longest distance I had ever run was 5K.
I had a plan on how to attack the training. With the race in April 2018, I completed my first 10K, 15K, half marathon and then capped it off with the 25K trail run. I’ve been in love with running ever since.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I can’t seem to get a race like a 50 mile or 100 mile out of my head. It’s crazy. I haven’t even run a marathon and yet the idea of these bigger distances seem to keep calling to me. I would love to be able to run a race like Leadville, Western States or even the UTMB. .
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
It has to be the The Wild Canyon Ultra (this is the 25K I did). It was at Caprock Canyons State Park; one of my favorite state parks. https://www.ultraexpeditions.com/thewildcanyonultra
What is your favorite color?
Blue or black
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
My favorite post race food would have to be a big fat burger. Drink would be a really cold pilsner right after the race; and then an Old Fashioned later on at the celebration dinner.
Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE 😀
Back in August I decided to refresh my run. I effectively decided to start over. Go back to ground zero. Each week I’m trying to increase my distance by 10%. This has been really great for me as it’s allowed me to successfully rehab a recurring hamstring injury that I’ve struggled with for a couple of years now. My first trail race in nearly a year or two is in Feb. 2020. It’s just a 5 miler, but I want to set myself up to be successful. I need this win under my belt. Oh, and I’m glad I’ve found this Tribe.
I may not live in AZ (I live in the flat lands of North Texas), but you never know when I might decide to fly out and meet everyone!
Every Saturday we highlight one of our members from theTRU Tribe Running Club . Meet Barbara! If we can do it, so can you!
Big finish line smiles!
I picked Barbara because as soon as she joined TRU TRIBE, she kept pushing herself out of her comfort zone. She sets an example as one of the older people in our group (and she’s not old! LOL). Her Final Surge is almost always all green and she participates in our online group.
Why did you start running?
I started running to train for the Phoenix Rock and Roll Half Marathon. I was inspired by two co-workers who were planning to run the race. They had both done it before and made it sound like fun, so I thought I would give it a try. It was supposed to be a one-time thing for me, just to see if I could do it. Little did I know that I would get hooked!
What age did you start running?
58
How old are you now? (to inspire the others! but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
61 years old
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
Your question really holds the answer. It is a journey, and journeys have ups and downs, detours, stops and starts, and will take you to wonderful places. Just have a map, and be prepared to sometimes go to places that aren’t on the map! (Like running on trails at night-NEVER saw that coming!)
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
I had to start with alternating walking and running. At the time I felt like I wasn’t a “runner.” Now I realize that the moment I transitioned from a walk to a run, I became a runner! So, I would advise a beginner to think of herself as a runner, regardless of speed, body type, age or experience. I also recommend getting a running coach to help you with your mechanics. You probably ran very naturally as a child, but as an adult you may need to re-learn good form. It may be the key to staying injury-free. Lastly, find a running group! I love my time alone when I run, but I also love running with my Tribe!
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I would have sought out a coach sooner. I suffered from groin injuries after my first two half marathons. Once I worked with a physical therapist who was a runner, and then a coach, I have stayed injury free (not counting injuries from falling—I am not very graceful!)
What is your longest race distance and why?
My longest distance was at a timed event, the Jackrabbit Jubilee. I did just over 23 miles in the 6 hour event. My longest trail run was just a week ago at the Jackass Night Trail Run, 31 K.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I have 3 goals right now. First up, I am training for my first marathon, The Phoenix Rock and Roll Marathon in January. After that, I want to do my first ultra trail race, a 50 K. There, I said it! Now I have to do it! I also want to run a race in another country.
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
I have two favorites. My first race will always be special, that was the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in 2017. My other favorite was the double down Blackout 6 K and Big Pine 13 K this year. It was my first trail race, first night race, first double down and first race that I ran with TRU Tribe ladies!
What is your favorite color?
Purple
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
A banana with nut butter, if it’s a morning race, and just water to drink. At night I gravitate towards pizza with wine or beer.
Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE 😀
You ALL inspire me! I love the way we train together and encourage each other in spite of different ages, paces and running experiences.
Make sure to check out Barbara’s blog: BoomerChiX 😍
Every Saturday we highlight one of our members from theTRU Tribe Running Club . Meet Sonia! If we can do it, so can you!
Sonia’s 1st 100K!
Why did you start running?
My grandma was into fitness and healthy eating. I was a chubby kid so my grandma would take me to the elementary track and make me run to lose weight. She thought I hated it, but I loved it. Because of her I love to run.
What age did you start running?
I started when I was seven years old.
How old are you now? (to inspire the others! but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
41 years old
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?How fast I run does NOT define me as a great runner. It’s not all about speed. It’s about doing your best and achieving your running goals.
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Find a coach to help you with your running journey. Learn the correct running form to prevent injuries along your way. Strength training is such important element to help you get stronger, prevent injuries, and improves your performance as an athlete.
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I would have definitely done the following before I started to race: find a coach, taken a chi running workshop, and strength training to prevent all of the running injuries
What is your longest race distance and why?
My longest race was the Javalina Jundred 100k. I like to challenge myself. Whenever I cross a finish line I know I CAN do more.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I want to do a 100 miler at the Copper Canyons Endurance Run in Mexico. I want to run with the Tarahumara my people.
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
My favorite race has been the Javalina Jundred 100k and the New York City Marathon.
What is your favorite color?
I don’t have a favorite color. 🤓
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
I love coconut water and a good old bison burger.
Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE 😀
I am so grateful for having you all in my running journey. Thank you so much for all of your support.

What age did you start running?
50
How old are you now? (to inspire the others! but you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to)
52
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
You can’t finish if you don’t start, and it is ok to be DFL! (Dead F*&n Last)
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
You have to start somewhere, set realistic goals, don’t be hard on yourself, surround yourself with positive, supportive people!
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
Learn how to run the right way, so you don’t get injured!
What is your longest race distance and why?
Recently completed Javalina Jangover 50k with Cindy Richardson! I wanted to try a 50k, as my goal is to challenge myself continually, and defy the odds.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
The National Pancreas Foundation is currently a charity partner with the Marine Corps Marathon. The cutoff is 7 hours for the full, which will require some speed work for me to maintain that pace for 26 miles.
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
I have many favorite races!! I love the challenge of the half marathon distance and my goal is to complete all the Vacation Races! My favorite was the Grand Teton Half, simply beautiful!
What is your favorite color?
I don’t have just one!
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
I love a juicy IPA after a run!! Love going out for breakfast after weekend runs

Stretch more, rest more, cut myself some slack for hard runs
What is your longest race distance and why?
100k at Javelina Jundred….I volunteered at this event about 6 months after I started trail running and I saw “real” people with “real” bodies and thought if they could do it so could I. Made a 3 year goal to do it for my 45 birthday..
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
I would like to get 100 miles at a timed event..

Thanks for being part of my journey!
Every Saturday we highlight one of our members inTRU Tribe Running Club . Cindy Richardson was our first one! Since she’s been a member, she’s crossed finish lines she never thought possible including her first 50K on 9/27/19!
Cindy and Mellie completing their first 50K..at night! They are still smiling at the finish even if the sunrise beat them to the finish 💜
Why did you start running?
I needed a new challenge in my life and running had always been something I was scared of.
What age did you start running?
58
How old are you now?
59
What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far from your running journey?
Just start and quit thinking about it. Even if I have a setback, I need to work within my own limits but keep moving forward towards my goals.
What advice would you give a beginner runner?
Just start and quit thinking about it. Find a coach and stick to a workout schedule. Having an event as a goal will help keep you focused.
What would you do differently knowing what you know now?
I would try to be more consistent with my workouts.
What is your longest race distance and why?
50K – recently completed. It was a tough event but I finished within the cutoff time.
Do you have a bucket list race or distance?
Not any more. I am happy with the 50K, but may decide to do other 50K races.
What has been your favorite race and/or distance so far?
I really enjoyed my first night race, it was a 9K at San Tan and beautiful weather with full moon, and I ran with a companion Melinda the entire race.
What is your favorite color?
None really but wear lots of purple now.
What is your favorite post race food and drink?
Beer garden is always fun to sit and visit with group, beer and something salty for post race snack.
Anything else you want to share with the TRU TRIBE Online🥰
Having the TRU Tribe group as inspiration and companions is a great way to keep focused and have fun. Lisa is a great coach — working on technique, running workouts and auxilliary excercises plus cheering us on the entire time.
This race is one of the main reasons I love running! This was my most favorite race experience that I’ve had to date! (so hard to say this as I’ve had so many but overall, this one takes it!)
“I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell”……
This AC/DC song will never be the same for me after the last 9 days of my life! I’ll tell you why in a minute….
I remember hearing about the TransRockies Run several years back. I remember talking to my friend Diane about it and I put it loosely on my bucket list. With all the new adventures in my life, I kind of just forgot about it…..until my friend Joan heard about some volunteering opportunities with the race this summer. August is my slowest time of the year and I figured it would be nice to get out of the Arizona heat and go to CO. (I always tell my peeps that they should volunteer for races. It’s just good karma and so much fun.) I usually volunteer locally but this seemed like a fun summer adventure….and now that I was going to see what it was about, maybe I’d consider putting it back on the bucket list.
In the interest of time, I will try to summarize my experience with some quick comments and photos 😉
Race Summary
A 6 day stage race in the Rocky Mountains of CO totaling 120 miles (13-24 miles daily) with 20,000 feet of elevation gain. Runners have the option to camp or stay in hotels as the start and finish line move just about every single day for these point to point runs.
120 miles!
My Volunteer Gig
I went up with some friends and we were assigned to Start and Finish Line Catering & Timing (aid station for the runners before they left that stage and at the end of it). This might seem pretty easy but consider that the start line and finish line were usually in two different locations (and sometimes so was camp!). We have all been trained and volunteered with Pati Coury from Aravaipa Running and were very confident in our aid station skills. As said by Justin, a fellow volunteer: “ It was the easiest week of working hard that I can ever remember.” I am not kidding when I say I don’t think I have worked that hard for that many days in a row EVER! We started at 6am getting the Start Line Aid Station ready, then normally drove to the finish line, helped the Start/Finish line crew put the finish line up and then set up our aid station. We were there all day until the last runner came in. Then we cleaned everything all up, loaded it back in the cargo van, maybe had time to get some dinner, attend the mandatory end-of-day staff meeting, then go refill our van with supplies for the next day. We normally ended our day at 8:30pmish.
Day 1 we went to “HQ” to fill up our cargo van
We emptied and reloaded this van twice a day and it always full (not like this picture!)
GU was a sponsor and we had plenty of products!
This is the start/finish line that goes up and down every day! (those are metal panels on the side that come apart!)
We were nicknamed the AZ Girls. We strategically brought our AZ Sole Sports shirts to represent! We had our Run Steep Get High shirts for one day too but forgot to take a picture!
Behind The Scenes I titled this blog Behind the Scenes for a reason. Never ever have I seen this big of a group of volunteers work so hard and so well together. It’s hard to describe in writing. Just about every day, the camp crew took tents down and put them back up at another location, the luggage crew moved all the runner’s luggage, and the shuttle drivers shuttled runners to and from start/finish lines and camp. And when you were done with your “job”, you just moved around and asked others if they needed help. I don’t know what the return rate of volunteers is but I will guess it’s about 80%. We walked right into a big TransRockies family. The first evening was a bit weird because it was a reunion for most of them. By the next day, we were welcomed and brought in like we belonged. I met so many wonderful people. There is no doubt that there is a very strong sense of community with this race and it felt so good to be part of it!
Back to AC/DC..and Right Said Fred The count down song at every start line (6 days in a row!) was Highway to Hell. I can play the song now and close my eyes and feel the energy of the runners. There is nothing like the energy of a start line! The other great thing you could see and feel throughout the week was the camaraderie. Not only of the volunteers but the runners too. Many of them knew each other as repeat runners as well but if they didn’t, they had 6 days on the course and in camp to become friends. The closest thing I can compare it to is my Breast Cancer 3-Day experience only this was more days and more moving around.
The other song that I will never forget now is Stand Up (for the champions) by Right Said Fred.They played this every night after dinner with all the winners for the various categories in the front of the audience. They all stood up and jumped to this song. Again, lots of good energy.
The Runners
We were there for them! Our goal was to make sure they all had a great experience. If you are a runner, I highly recommend taking time to volunteer at races. Such a rewarding experience! Since we were at the finish line, we got to see every single runner! We got to watch the elites come in with some super strong finish times and then…..my favorites, the back of the packers. I got to meet some of the coolest people! From Mirna Valerio, The Mirnavator to Gordy Ainsleigh, the “father of ultramarathoning”, to Gina Lucrezi, the founder of Trail Sisters.
As much as it was great to meet the famous runners, I also got to meet so many other runners from all walks of life. There were many international runners, elite runners and back of the packers. I really think I met every single runner but didn’t really get to know many of them as they came through tired from their run and ready to go sit down with some GU Protein Recovery Drink (which by the way was all the rage!). I watched so many people do some epic shit and that is what inspired me every morning to get up and take care of them.
Some TransRockies runners were also supporting charities: First Descents (they provide life-changing outdoor adventures for young adults (ages 18 – 39) impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions) and Mito Canada (Canada’s only not-for-profit organization focused on mitochondrial disease).
The first time I hugged him I had no idea who he was…then I found he was Gordy Ainsleigh 😉
Best photo bomb ever with #themirnavator Mirna Valerio trying to drink my beer 😉
First Descent charity guys! Love what people do to raise money for charity!
On Day 3 they added an early start for the back of the packers, led by the awesome Mirna Valerio!
Love that these 2 were a team and were giving these cards away to people coming in after them 😉 It’s never too late and you are never too old!
The Man!
HOU-DA! HOU-DA! HOU-DA!
We all shouted his name when all the volunteers were called on the “stage” at the awards ceremony: Kevin Houda McDonald, race director.
What can I say about this guy? My first impressions were his email responses when I was inquiring about the volunteer gig: short and sweet….then I had a chance to talk to him on the phone before we left to get more details and he was like a ping pong ball all over the place. I was writing as fast as I could trying to keep up as he changed his stream of thought what seemed like a million times. Even when I finally met him, he was doing 5 things at one time….but….:
he was always present when engaged in a conversation
he had no problem diving in any areas where help was needed at any time
he thanked his volunteers daily and acknowledged everyone’s hard efforts in our nightly staff meetings from the porta-potty people to the sweepers
he backed up his staff when needed
he gets a high return rate of volunteers (and it’s a long tough week of volunteering)
he keeps this huge team of volunteers motivated while there are so many moving parts to this race
I swear I am not kissing ass but as someone who has quite a bit of leadership experience from the corporate to the non profit world, this guy knows how to make it happen. This was one of the most well run events I’ve ever been part of it. There are many people who make this all happen but it requires a good leader too.
As much as I worked my ass off in those 10 days, I wouldn’t change a thing! It was an awesome experience and I have a whole new running family too! There were so many more memories and pictures and beautiful views….but the next blog I write about this race will be as a runner when I do it next year!
Special thanks to the Start/Finish Line crew who took us under their wing and the team we worked the closest with….seriously too many people to thank for this amazing experience!
Last day with our team: Big G, Rachel and Doug (missing Keon and Bruce)
Last day with our team: Big G, Rachel (missing Keon, Bruce and Doug). Joan and I manned the aid station and Elaine and Lori were timers and backed us up too.

If you were a runner or volunteer and made it this far in reading my blog, you can find me, The Running University on Facebook and Instagram. Stay in touch and see you next year!
THANKS TO VOLUNTEERS AND RUNNERS FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
Edited on 8/22/19 with this video from We Run 4 Fun
This could be dangerous because I’m about to loosely lay out some goals for the next two years. Between people asking me what my next big race is and the fact that I turn 50 on February 19th 2021, I figured I’d share some of my upcoming adventures (and this will help keep me accountable as I am putting it in writing now.) LOL
Personal Shenanigans
August 11th-18th I am excited to be volunteering for the TransRockies Race! This is a 125 mile stage race over 6 days in the Rockies. I’ll be volunteering at the Finish Line with a few good friends. It will be great to break out of this heat and give back to the running community. Selfishly checking this out as it’s been on my mind for many years and I am considering doing this race next summer.
August 24th I am doing a timed event at Jackrabbit Jubilee. This is a 12 hour event going around a 500m track. I will admit these are not my favorite as they can be vary monotonous but they serve a different purpose (read more here). The fun thing about this one is that my #trutribe is having an informal running party at this race. I did not do a program for this event but many of them are trying this out for their first time. We will all be going around in circles (there is a 6 hour and 12 hour option).
September 6-8th 2019 I am participating in the Breast Cancer 3-Day in Boston. Many of you know the history of my Las Bombas team but I haven’t walked in several years and MA is my home state. I am grateful to have been able to raise the $2300 with some help from you!
October 12th 2019 my BUCKET LIST race! I just started training for the Canyon De Chelly 55K. I was on the waiting list last year and got in on the lottery this year. I was #149 of #150 to be picked! I’ll get to be one of the few people to get in to this canyon that is protected Navajo land. I am beyond excited!
Summer 2020 is still a bit up in the air but planning on that TransRockies race in August and considering some of the Aravaipa races in July in the Silverton area as well.
I am saying it out loud and in writing finally but I am ready to tackle my next biggest distance which will be 100 miles. Yikes, just writing it is scary but I have been mulling this around for quite some time. I am debating in between 2 races. I want it to be local race with Aravaipa Running since I “grew up” as a trail runner, ultra runner and coach thanks to them. The options are the Javelina Jundred or Coldwater Rumble. At this point it’s possible that I could do the 100K at Javelina in November 2020 and then Coldwater 100 miler in 2021 which would be a month before I turn 50.
I’ve always said that I will never qualify for the Boston Marathon because I am not a fast runner nor do I want to work that hard to qualify. It would be amazing to experience this race though since it’s in my home state. I am considering doing it in 2021 and I would opt to raise money for it while I’m training for my 100 miler.
Professional Shenanigans
My life motto is: do the things I love to do with the people I love to do them with, whenever I want. I am pretty much living this right now. I can’t do things whenever I want but if I plan in advance enough, I can certainly try….thus this blog post 😉 I am blessed that I love what I do and get to combine my passion with my career.
September 2019 stay tuned for TRU TRIBE Online. That’s all I am saying right now 😉 (TRU 2.0)
September 25th-30th 2019 I’ll be in Asheville NC assisting Danny Dreyer (founder of ChiRunning) with a ChiRunning Instructor Training class. I can train individuals privately to become instructors but I couldn’t pass up the chance to assist Danny. I am constantly stalking him and try to work with him at least once a year. Not only to get time with him but he’s continuously working on his running practice and who better to follow than the guru himself?
May 17th-22 2020 I’ll be assisting Danny and Katherine at Kripalu for a 5 Day ChiRunning/ChiWalking Retreat! Mark your calendars!
Continue to expand on the ladies training programs. Work on TRU 3.0 which will include more traveling: running retreats and more racecations (races out of town or out of the country)
What are your goals for the next year or two?
