My "Team"
I have had a ton of help to get me where I am. I can't even begin to thank these individuals and organizations for all of their support!
Supporters:
Coach: Jerry Schaubach
Retired Red Wing HS XC and Track coach. Now full time vacationer and grandparent, occasional track meet timer/organizer (you should see him, like a kid in a candy store!). I am so thankful I called him back in 2010; his simple, straightforward plans and approach have brought me to a level I didn't think possible!

Chiropractor: Jim Patterson, Patterson Chiropractic
Before finding Jim, I was injured frequently, visiting a lot of different doctors/PTs/etc. Since finding him and scheduling regular visits to keep the hips in alignment, I have been injury free. There have been some really puzzling symptoms and pain along the way, but he has ALWAYS been able to find the cause and work it out. So, even though it's a bit of a drive from Northfield, I still make it a priority to see him regularly. I can't thank him enough for keeping me healthy!
Sports Psychologist: Dr. David Asp
If you haven't worked with a sports psychologist before, read my accounts and email Dr. Asp. Seriously. [daasp@charter.net]
Massage: Kaiti at Willow Creek Massage
Even though I try to be very in tune with how my body is working, noticing aches/pains early, it has been great to have a massage therapist to help me point out areas of tightness and catch them early. I didn't heed to her advice once and I spent a week nursing an injury as a result (read about it here). It has also help to loosen up my legs and speed recovery time.
Nutritionist: Donna Marlor and Rasa Troup

Nutritionist: Donna Marlor and Rasa Troup
Both have helped in different ways to help me learn to fuel as best as possible - and to make that portion of training much simpler!
Medical Sage: Dr. David Bahl
The most kind individual - always helping with random injury advice, and always prodding me to think bigger, think more competitively :)
Training Partners: Craig, Brian (TNT!), Brenden (Assistant GAC coach), Red Wing YMCA Lunch-time runners, Gustavus and Carleton Women's XC Teams, Mesa, and last but not least my husband and life-long running buddy Nate
