Liz Lustig is my fearless sidekick who I have trained with for almost every race. I always have these bizarre training ideas and she always says yes. When we finish a run and I say "I had this idea" - she just smiles and knows something fun (challenging) is on my mind. Running is our way to stay connected during this crazy busy life of being full time working moms with very busy kids.
Liz's running profile: I started running in 2013 mostly as a way to get back in shape but also because my kids enjoyed running and they inspired me. I didn't want to be the out-of-shape mom that couldn't finish a run with her kids. I actually introduced myself to Carrie at the start of my first Cruisin the Corridor 5K. Our boys had become friends but we really didn't know each other yet. Little did we know then how our friendship would grow and the "adventures" she would talk me into in the future.
Liz's 2024 Grandma's Goal: Liz is working towards getting back to running comfortable a pace. As of now, she is not signed up for the race - her daughter is a senior in her last year of high school soccer and the final games of the season (including playoffs) are around the same weekend as the race. She will train along with the group but hopefully won't be at Grandma's because she is at the state tournament. She has PROMISED to be back after this.
