A glimpse at the professionals who will be making the night memorable:

Carrie Gloudemans
Carrie is a regional sales representative for Mizuno USA. She knows everything about Mizuno and the technology used to make their product so valuable. She is active athletically, with her background stemming from a college career as a gymnast for Nebraska. Be nice to her, she's the one with the free outfit.

Natalie Sawyer
Natalie Sawyer was trained by Jonny Kest in Detroit, MI at the Jonny Kest Center for Yoga and is a Registered Yoga Teacher through Yoga Alliance (RYT 200). Rooted in Ashtanga Yoga, Natalie’s teaching style goes beyond the traditional and encourages students to practice from a place of authenticity and joy using powerful breath and flow. Skilled at making the practice accessible to all levels, and by using a blend of the traditional and contemporary, Natalie creates an environment in which students can begin exploring the deeper levels of yoga while tapping into their physical strength and flexibility.

Natalie is also a runner, and it was a running injury that helped her discover the cross-training benefits of a yoga practice. As an athlete, Natalie is specialized at gearing yoga asana specifically toward a runner’s needs in order to help maximize performance and balance the stress that training demands on the body and mind.

Yoga can increase endurance, strength, flexibility, balance and focus. A specific yoga practice targeted at key muscle groups utilized by running can save you from injury and mental and physical burn out. These two workshops are for athletes who want to supplement their training and learn how to make their training regime less taxing on the body.

Krista Seibert
Krista is a famous local runner. If you don't know the name, you've probably seen the face. She has been a high school and adult coach, teacher, mother of four, and more - but most of us know her as a runner.  She has helped many beginners in TNT train for events while fundraising, and she does a lot of running herself. She has run sub 2:50 in the marathon a few times - all while juggling all else in her life.  On top of being a great person and friend we love seeing at the CRC, she is a great inspiration!

The Columbus Running Company Owners, being all gentlemen, will not be in attendance. Instead, if there are any boyfriends or husbands looking for something to do while their woman is enjoying 'her' time, please join us at Buffalo Wild Wings for some traditional man time. They've expanded their draft list and Thursday night is sixty-cent boneless wing night.

Contact the store here to reserve your spot and hopefully receive your free gift!
