Walkin’ in Memphis – Literally

3 hours after leaving my hotel room, I wandered back in ready for a nap, but instead dressing quickly to head out to dinner at Flight with the St Jude team…but more on that later.

As I was departing the hotel I asked the concierge if I could walk to a lot of things, she pointed me to the trolley car map, explaining I could ride for a $1. I resisted the urge to explain I didn’t want to ride anywhere and instead used that map as my little guide to explore on foot…it’s just so much more fun, plus I felt way less guilty about that chocolate chip soufflé at dinner.

Then I’m walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?

Enough signing! Here is a snippet of the streets I pounded with these feet…{many of which are part of the St. Jude Memphis Marathon in case you are looking for a runner’s reason to visit!}

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Please let me know if you are interested in anything specific about St Jude, so I can share those things…otherwise be prepared to have your mind blown later this week!! Oh and be on the lookout for a VitaMix giveaway Smile

I am a running coach with over a decade of experience helping thousands of runners to achieve their goals from running injury free to crossing that marathon finish line with a PR. I’ve run over 28,000 miles in my own running journey since 2002. Run To The Finish is my place to share that love and my deep dive in to researching all things running. I hold multiple run coaching certifications, as well as a personal training certification. But it’s my ongoing desire to learn and progress as a coach that has allowed me to help runners from their 20’s through their 70’s! More ways to connect with me:

Welcome!!

Hello runners! I’m Amanda Brooks, a certified running coach and personal trainer since 2012. But my running love started long before that in 2002. My philosophy is that running isn’t about your pace or the distance or your body. It’s about showing up for yourself, loving the process and doing it injury free!
