Even before I became a serious runner, the anchor has always been my favorite symbol. I’ve found the connection between what I value in running and coaching to be extremely meaningful to the anchor symbol. Running became a source of strength, steadfastness, and endurance; an anchor in my life. Running can be a great way to relieve stress, build confidence and work towards meaningful goals. The anchor leg of the relay in track is the runner who can run fast and help out the team come from behind and has to finish strong. I coach my runners to finish strong just like the anchor leg of a relay. Anchored by running is about having running be a source of strength in your life, chasing down goals and finishing strong.
