RUNNING AND FITNESS
"Myrna is one of the main reasons that I have been able to complete three marathons. Years ago I never dreamed that I would ever be able to run more than 20 minutes, but with Myrna's encouragement and support I soon found myself at the start of a 5 km race in Montreal and then a 10 km one. To this day being able to complete my first 5 km race was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. Without Myrna I don't know if I ever would have had the courage to believe that I could be a runner. Myrna has also inspired me to help others become runners and because of her I have now coached two learn to run clinics for women. I know because of her that even as you progress in your own running it is still important to give back to the running community. Thank you for all that you do."

"I reached out to Myrna after reading about her training for the Boston Marathon. It was about training smarter, not just running long miles. I was new to long distance running and new to a method of running called the POSE method. Myrna not only shared her story with me but put together a detailed 18 week running program that lead to not just one, but 2 marathons. The training was varied and included stretching, nutritional ideas and even ankle strengthening exercises. Myrna was my "virtual" coach, encouraging me from Montreal Canada while I trained in Minneapolis, MN. The marathon experience for me revealed many aspects of my life journey; mentally, physically and spiritually. Without the assistance of Myrna I would have been hard pressed to make it to the starting line, much less the finish line. I have thanked Myrna many times for her investment in me, and here is one more. Myrna, I am deeply grateful to you and your gift of coaching to me. Continued success in your speaking engagements. Your passion is contagious.”

"Yesterday I ran my 1st 3K for the Bahrain Marathon Relay 2010..It was a feeling i can't hardly explain, but when i took that 1st step it felt like i was going to fly. It was one moment i will never ever forget. One person surely came to my mind, Myrna! I dedicate that moment to her; without her i don't think i could have possibly even thought that i could. Thank you so much Myrna for teaching me not just that, but also for BELIEVING in me :) Aimed for a 3K, achieved it, and now looking forward to a 5K ;)"

INSPIRATION
"Over the 9 years of caring for Dominic, wondering if he would live, and trying to keep up with our other children I lost control of my own health. The battle to stop gaining weight, regain my energy and well-being had been lost, because I gave up. Then I met you and saw you train through all kinds of injuries and difficulties. I saw the way you ignore your age and keep your body strong and I caught a bit of that energy. Now my road to good health doesn't look impossible. The changes have been slow and my weight hasn't come off quickly but I stopped gaining. Now I spend more time walking and riding my bike and am trying to make better food choices. When I get discouraged I think of you Myrna and know I want to be beautiful again too.”

“Absolutely beautiful speech! Made me think about how many times I’ve given up and how close to success I could have been. You are an inspiration! Thank you”

“Dreaming is something I used to love to do, but there came a point in my life, where I gave it all up. I tried a lot getting back but often my spirits would go down and I would quit. I was always known to be a quitter and with that always being told to me, I would always give up. Then, I met Myrna. She brought back my confidence and made me dare to dream again! ? I have a goal I want to achieve. I want to be there, I have to be there!!! And I won't quit this time…?Thank you Myrna for that wonderful speech you gave last night!! ? You've inspired me, you've inspired everybody!!”
