It’s been a little over two years since I reached out to you to coach me, with a goal of a BQ. I really didn’t know when I would be able to have a legitimate shot at that goal. After all, my PR in the BA days — Before Angie — was a 3:51, and I needed to trim roughly a minute per mile to BQ.

But, as I have said before, you have saved me from myself with your carefully tailored individual training plans. No more overdoing it as I did two years ago when I approached you with an ITBS injury, thanks to too many hard runs in too short a time. And your plans have guided me on a holistic approach to faster and longer running, working in core workouts and introducing me to yoga.

This is your BQ, as well as it is mine. Though, we’ll need to do it again since it looks like it will fall a little short of the cutoff. Thanks for all your guidance, cheerleading and listening throughout this journey. Upward and onward. -Henry Howard
