Downtown Running Group!

Starting tomorrow, a running group led by Nancy Mincey will meet in front of Energy Fitness for 3, 6, and 9 mile routes. The group will meet every Wednesday morning at 5 a.m. and Thursday evenings at 6 p.m.

Nancy has some impressive credentials, which I will get to in a moment, but I want to assure anyone interested, this is not a group just for advanced athletes. No one is going to take off and leave you in their dust.

Nancy Mincey, 42, is the General Manager for a full-service nuclear fuel cycle company. She has been a competitive runner since grade school and in 2007 - 2008, she made the transition from running distance events to triathlons, which incorporates the running with swimming and biking. She is a member of the Memphis Terrapin Racing Team and completed her first Ironman in 2008 and is currently training for the Ironman Louisville in August 2009. Recent racing accomplishments:
2008 Ironman Florida finisher
2008 DeGray CATS half ironman, 40-44, 1st place
2008 Memphis in May Triathlon Amateur Challenge, 9th place overall
2008 Gulf Coast Triathlon, 40 – 44, 8th place
2008 Rebel Man Sprint Triathlon, 40-44, 2nd place
2006, 2007 Chicago Marathon finisher
Annual - Volunteer race pacer for the St. Jude Memphis Marathon
