Since St. Valentine's Day is in February, we thought we would Spotlight a couple of runners who have celebrated 23 years of love on Valentine's Day -- that's a lot of greeting cards, chocolates, flowers and whatever else happens on that special dayJ
Our February Runner Spotlights; Kurt and Holly Halverson, have 36 years of running experience between the two of them. We meet runners all the time that only run short distances or only long distances, or who only run on the trails or only run during certain times of the year, but Kurt and Holly are a complete running package. They've completed many road races of all distances from 5K's, to marathons to ultra-marathons. They run in many trail races and compete in triathlons and biathlons too. Rumor is Kurt can even run on waterJ
Holly is a manager at Striders, so every customer she helps benefits from her experience; she's awesome because she can help that hard core marathoner with his chaffing problem, then can quickly shift gears and help the new mother of twins get back on her feet and then can help a tri-athlete with a wetsuit and goggles. She's saved Ben and me more than once with questions on running bras and underwear.
If Kurt isn't running in a race; he's usually there anyway volunteering or supporting in some way. He's a man of many talents; his wood working skills are unbelievable. If you ever need a new mantle, don't go buy a stock one until you see what he can do -- it's amazing.
There are many people who are the beneficiary of Kurt and Holly's friendship and we're definitely grateful to know them. To read more about Kurt and Holly please visit www.stridersrunning.com |
