Meet Tracey

4/19/2020

 
 We are a few weeks into our Spring Clinic, and it is so encouraging to see PACErs getting out there on the trails, and posting their accountability photos as we continue our clinic virtually, due to COVID-19. This week I am excited to introduce a new PACEr, welcome to PACE Tracey!

Meet Tracey Kellerman


​
How did you hear about PACE?
Friends and online. I’ve always wanted to try one of the PACE clinics but didn’t have the trail running time under my belt.  Now I do and got the courage to register for the Spring clinic and love it so far!

What is your favorite thing about trail running?
Being able to get away from the craziness and noise of the city. There's so many beautiful and peaceful trails out there. I love the adventures of discovering new places with friends or my husband and our 2 mini Australian Shepherds, Jax and Tucker. 

Memorable running, racing or training moment so far:
Definitely the 4 day trip to Yakima to run a half marathon with 10 other women!  What a fun weekend :)

What are some of your hobbies outside of running?
Pretty much game for any outdoor adventure! Kayaking, paddleboarding, camping, hiking, biking, snowshoeing.

Is there anything else you'd like the PACE Community to know about you?
I look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays now!!  I hope we’ll be able to run together before the clinic is over so I can meet you all!  Thankful Rene was creative and still offered the Spring clinic!! ​

How did you hear about PACE? Online & word of mouth.
 
What is your favourite thing about trail running? Walking! Lol. Seriously, the views, nature, the different terrain.

Memorable running, racing or trail moment: I think a memorable moment in training was running 32 km for the first time. My friend had joined me for the second half of it. After I hit 32 km on my watch, I stopped running. She very sensibly told me to walk it out and I snapped at her I couldn't walk, even though (& because) I had just run a significant distance.  I went and sat down. And was very sore very quickly.  You find true friends running because you can snap at each other and even cuss at them during those tough running moments and they still love you anyway. They still want to run with you.
 
What are some of your hobbies outside of running? There are hobbies outside of running? Photography, reading, skiing...
 
Do you have a favourite quote or mantra? "What if I fall? Oh but my darling, what if you fly?"
​
The little train that could - I think I can, I think I can, I know I can.

Is there anything else you'd like the PACE Community to know about you? I am very grateful I signed up for this group and I continue to look forward to getting to know everyone!

​How did you hear about PACE? I heard about PACE from several friends, after I swore I would NEVER be a trail runner. (This is my first clinic and I’m already addicted to trail running so never say never).
 
What is your favourite thing about trail running? My favourite thing about running is that I get to decompress, clear my mind, think about the day, and talk and laugh with my friends. I always said it was better than therapy.
 
What are some of your hobbies outside of running? My hobbies outside of running are: talking about running, signing up for races, eating, and talking about eating.
 
Do you have a favourite quote or mantra? I seem to say “Go big or go home” a lot. I also like “You didn’t come this far to only come this far.”

Is there anything else you'd like the PACE Community to know about you? I swear-A LOT. Also, I strongly dislike coffee and walking.

Meet Breanna & Jade

​We’re excited to introduce a couple of new PACE-rs this week. These ladies are both incredibly lovely, so easy to talk to, and this is their first PACE clinic!

Meet Breanna Snow
 
How did you hear about PACE? I had been chatting with friends in the community about some of my running goals, and everyone I encountered had nothing but amazing things to say about PACE so I decided to check it out. 
 
What is your favourite thing about trail running? I love the bounciness of the trails. It feels like an adult playground. 
 
Funny running, racing or trail moment: Definitely my first long run with PACE. We were cruising in roughly 2 foot deep snow, headed downhill and I had the BEST case of the “snow giggles”. I was sliding and trying so hard not the land in a snow bank, that I just couldn’t stop laughing. It was the greatest way to start a Sunday! I can’t wait till next week. 
 
What are some of your hobbies outside of running? I’m usually up for just about an kind of adventure. Paddle boarding, volleyball, skiing, anything involving wine....
 
Do you have a favourite quote or mantra? “Be so completely yourself, that everyone else feels safe to be themselves too.” – Unknown

​Meet Jade Arignon
 
How did you hear about PACE? I was introduced and inspired by the lovely Janine Taylor. I work with her at Urban Systems and the whole office followed along during her TAR experience in 2019. She’s an incredible athlete and mentor and the way she spoke about her PACE family was completely captivating.
 
What is your favorite thing about trail running? Well I’m a newbie, but so far I’d have to say that I love the challenge of the trails, the peacefulness of the outdoors, and the company (whether it’s the group or my pup Steve!).
 
Funny running, racing or training moment: Oh geez. It’s shocking that I don’t have one yet but I’m sure it’ll come. I’m one of those trip on a pine cone, lock your keys in your car, can’t have nice things kind of people. Stay tuned…
 
What are some of your hobbies outside of running? I grew up focused on sports, mostly basketball, and played through college. After that, I found
that most of my exercise as an adult was solo. I really missed the team and community feel that you get from team sports. PACE seems like the perfect blend of athletic challenge and team feel. I feel really grateful to have been introduced to this group through Janine.
 
Do you have a favorite quote or mantra? “No one is telling that you can’t do it except yourself.”- I’m pretty sure my high school track coach told me that right before I puked in a bucket he left out for us…. Ew.
 
Is there anything else you’d like the PACE Community to know about you?
I’m a dual French and Canadian citizen who grew up moving all over North America. I love all the sports, doggos, coffee and trying to make the world a better place. I’m grateful to the whole team of PACErs for providing a safe place for people to try something new. I don’t think you get that many chances as an adult to try something totally new and especially not in such a supportive environment. Thank you!
