Marla Bass - 2024 Runner Stories

I have always had a passion for fitness, and a love of running. My passion lead me to becoming a certified trainer and fitness coach. I wanted others to find a love in movement, and be proud of what their body can accomplish . Encouraging clients to fight for their goals and what they want is a big part of what I do. Excuses can often make their way to the forefront, and I have to work with them to not give in to those excuses. Well, now it’s my turn to not give in to excuses! I completed my last marathon in 2008 when I was 28. I always told myself I would complete another before I turned 40 years old. 40 came and went. I’m a mom, a wife and a coach, but I was using those as excuses. As I tell my clients “ giving in to your excuses will make today easy, but they will make your tomorrow that much harder” . So now, it’s my turn to fight for my finish line!
