Krissy Moehl provided an unusual program, in part because of the unusual career path she took.
On May 1, 2010, she made a decision. She had savings for one year. She decided to try and see if she could make a career out of being a professional ultra distance runner in which she would also coach and write. Two of her requirements were that she could not take out a loan or use her credit card.
It was a novel idea. There was no such career, at least at the time. It was a test of creativity to see if she could make a living at it.
Her first long distance race was the Chuckanut 50k which she first ran in 2000. She now is the Race Director for the annual event. (This is the first year in history of the event that it was not held – due to the Covid 19 virus.)
She has been running and racing for 20 years and has run ultra distance races in 15 countries on 6 continents.
Among signature events, she ran from her backyard in Bellingham to the summit of Mt. Baker. The run alone was over 50 miles. She then had to change from running to climbing gear to summit the mountain. She did it in 22 hours, a world record.
In 2015, she did a 165 mile run around the Lake Tahoe rim – setting a record of 47 hours and 29 minutes.
Last September, she ran around Mr. Baker. It took over 3 days.
She has written a book:
She trains athletes all over the world. Her website, Krissymoehl.com outlines her coaching services, including:
1) Weekly training schedule.
2) 2 one hour phone or in-person consultations.
3) Monitoring of your stats.
4) Unlimited email contact.
5) A resource for the questions
Now, ten years later, she reports she loves the creativity and challenge of her “job” and still hasn’t touched her savings.
Dr. Gary Goldfogel Covid-19 weekly update:
It has been a good week for Whatcom County. There have been no Covid 19 patients in the I.C.U or on ventilators for the past 4 weeks. Gary continues to think that we peaked, locally, about a month ago. He explained the 4 deaths that were recently announced were patients infected weeks ago with co-morbidities and are just now dying. Gary noted that, with CDC definitions, the death counted is increased because a number of the deaths are people dying with the disease and not from it. He noted that almost half (44% of all deaths) locally are patients over 90 years of age and 80% are over 80 years of age.
He continued recommended social distancing. He recommended you take a look at the link below
