What the Participants are saying
about Club26.2
Dear Robert,
Thank you just doesn't even begin to express my appreciation for
my "on-line trainer". The 1/2 marathon experience was
more gratifying than anything I ever expected. The whole marathon
experience was so much fun that I almost can't believe I actually
ran 13.1 miles. I really can't put into words the pride I feel
in my accomplishment of not only finishing but the entire training
experience. For your words of experience, training and sense of
humor I am forever grateful. I am so inspired, I am looking into
running another 1/2 marathon in Steamboat Springs in June (I can't
believe I am even thinking about this, let alone putting it in
writing). But for now I am thoroughly enjoying my success and
looking forward to some "down" time to let my body recover.
So in closing, thank you so much and I hope our paths will meet
again in the future (maybe at the PanCAN 2nd annual marathon).
Fondly,
Cheri Sudit (Pancreatic Cancer Network/ PanCAN)
Dear Robert,
Has anybody ever told you how great you are !!!! You and Euri
are both a wonderful asset to all the charities that you work
with....you not only inspire people to help other people, you
inspire them to accomplish a fabulous feat
of either completing a half/or full marathon and finally, you
encourage your trainees
to continue with walk/running to improve their health and live
longer and healthier lives.
From me, and all the people who have been lucky enough to have
you in our lives - thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Warmest regards,

Robert and Euri,
Thanks you so much for all you did!!! I never would have stuck
with the training, let alone completed the Marathon without you.
You were so incredibly supportive and knowledgeable. And your
patience and upbeat attitude were just what I needed. I really
enjoyed getting to know you both, and meeting the others in training.
What an awesome experience! The people in Carlsbad were so incredible
too. All those volunteers were so helpful (reaffirmed my belief
in the goodness of people) and everything so well organized.
I learned a lot throughout this whole experience and benefited
physically, but mentally, spiritually, healthwise and in relationships.
I recovered amazingly well for the most part (thanks for the cold
shower hint). Thanks again for all your hard work and support.
I hope to see you again at another run.
Take care.

Robert,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you again for the
training & more importantly the encouragement & positive
reinforcement.
With my knee problems this time around I found myself at times
doubting
if I could do another 1/2 marathon. Luckily that was about the
time you
would pop up for our training. Not only did I finish, but shaved
almost 15 minutes off my Kona time!
I plan on attending the Leadership Breakfast
on the 26th, so I look
forward to seeing you then.
Please say hi to Euri, it's obvious she is
a special lady & you two
make a great team.

Dear Robert and Euri,
Thank you again for a wonderful experience! I'm contemplating
doing the LA Marathon..
Steve Novak (City of Hope, Team Hope)
Robert,
Just wanted to thank you for all of your efforts towards our first
annual Team Hope marathon. This was one of the most difficult
things I've ever accomplished and I know I would not have been
able to cross that finish line without your expertise, encouragement
and overall support.
I've really enjoyed our months of training together and hope to
continue the relationship in the coming months.
Have a wonderful holiday and all the best in 2003.

Hi Robert!
I wanted to thank you and Euri once again for all of your support
and guidance throughout this process. It really was an amazing
experience and I'm so glad to have had this opportunity. I am
planning on running the San Diego marathon and would love to have
your training schedule since I'd like to do the full marathon
this time!
Thanks again for everything and happy holidays!

robert-
i can't thank you enough for your coaching.
because of your training schedule and diet tips, i felt as though
i could complete at least another 10k after the race! i experienced
my first runners high and i felt like a spring chicken after it
was all said and done. you have helped introduce a fantastic sport
into my life and showed me how it can be very enjoyable.
i plan to run the san diego marathon, so you may see me our there
on some saturdays.
thanks again, robert.

Thanks for all your hard work with our group, Robert. I learned
a lot about running & training and enjoyed myself in the process!
I was biking the Tuesday after the marathon, and finally ran this
morning, 3 miles. Am thinking about doing the Rock 'n Roll 1/2
marathon next year. Now look what you started!!
Thanks so much!
