Coach Val Tyler runs Boston Marathon

Monday night coach, Valerie Tyler, competed in the Boston Marathon on Monday April 19th.  She finished the race in 4:33, beating her best Chicago Marathon by 1 minute.

She described the motivation as:  ”So you ask – why do I do this?  Well, I would say the typical – it’s the challenge.  It is, but I think it’s more the accomplishment.  I can now check this off my bucket list knowing that I achieved what less than 5% of all marathoners achieve in a lifetime…a chance to run in the Boston Marathon.”

If you see Valerie, please pass along a congratulations.  Thanks, Valerie, for making us look good.
