Hey 
I’m Bob and have been running for over 30 years, the last 4 with FRC.
I began running to get healthy and enjoyed it so much I’m still at it today. I’ve completed 17 marathons and countless half’s. I enjoy helping others, especially with running and hope to inspire others to a life of running! The FRC training and members of this group will help you to run further and faster than you thought you could, but only if you come out and join us! You’ll also find a lot of new friends along the way.
My goal races this year are Jack & Jills in July 
and Oklahoma City in October (both postponed from 2020). I’ll also plan to be at the 50th BMW Marathon in December.
I’m looking forward to another year of FRC Marathon training especially after the 2020 pandemic! This is a great group of people with all paces, lots of socializing and a lot of support. Running is about pushing yourself to go further and your only competition is also yourself! Run with us and find out what you are truly capable of.
I started running 12 years ago and became part of the FRC family 6 years ago. I have been a pacer for this program for the past 4 years. I love the constant challenge of pushing your body to the limits to see what you can achieve. The best part of running is all of the friendships that you make. When you are able to share your goals, training, and accomplishments with other people it makes it that much more special and creates lifelong bonds! I have run 7 marathons and my goal race is Jack and Jill Marathon at the end of July. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
I have been addicted to running for the past 20+ years having completed numerous marathons and half marathons. And with each run or race, I learn new things about myself, running, and friends. It’s been a great way to stay in shape, challenge myself, see new places, set new goals, and meet new people. My running philosophy: “Just get started, The rest will come.”. I have been associated with FRC for 8 years and I am certainly looking forward to this year’s training season and group. I hope to assist other runners and learn from them too.

Hey all. I am Wim Schalken and started running more seriously (longer and faster) about 11 years ago and am absolutely loving it. My time with some of you goes back to the Luke’s Locker days as a participant and a coach. After lots of half marathons and a handfull full marathons I have learned that more cross training reduces my chance of injuries. I now alternate my running with swimming. I am also a field hockey coach and recently became an RRCA certified coach. I am looking forward to running with y’all.

What’s up y’all! Eric Sessums here. Most of my friends & family just call me E, even my wife… I started running in 2013 for health reasons, but the running community quickly became my biggest draw. I love to help people! I love running in groups! The more the merrier! One of my all-time favorite races is the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta. It’s coined as the World’s largest 10 at 60k+ runners! I ran it in 2018. To date I’ve ran 20 half marathons, 37 races of various other distances, but never a full. (it’s coming) I am a medal junkie! I also am prone to challenge myself with things that are probably too hard for me, but I’m pretty stubborn. My mantra is “Consistency is key”. The only way to get better at something is to do it.
I joined FRC at the end of 2019 when I moved to TX. I did a full season of the FRC program in 2020 & PR’d my half marathon for the first time since 2014. So you could say I am drinking to Kool-Aid! And it’s delicious (because it works)! I’m a loyal member of the 5am Crew, Half Fanatics, & November Project.
I have 7 or 8 races on my schedule this year, but the one’s that stubborn me signed up for are Pikes Peak Ascent in Aug & Dallas Full in December.
Side note: I’ve been a drummer for 20+ years. Not really running related, but cool for post run shenanigans.
I’m super excited to be a 1st year pacer for 10-11 group! So let’s have some fun and see what we can accomplish together!

My motto: “My race, my pace! I am only in competition with myself, so I always strive to be a better me than I was the day before.” I love to be of service to others, in all areas of life, and being a part of the running community helps me do that. I get the greatest pleasure from helping other reach their goals, and helping to celebrate the smaller goals on the way to the big achievement.
I am a wogger, and always did a race a year for many years, but when I had to be able to run a mile for my black belt test in karate, I figured I should probably get serious about this running thing. I am a proud back of the packer (because that is where the party is at!) and have run many distances for my races, from 5K to 3 full marathons during the pandemic, but my favorite distance is 13.1 (I am half crazy). I am always outside running, no matter the weather (unless there’s lightning), because I love the outdoors and you can always find me on one of the many trails in Plano earning a medal of some sort (because if I am going to run, I’m gonna earn some bling for it!).
My personal goals for 2021 are to run the year (2021+ miles) for the third year in a row, continue my intentional movement streak (3 years and counting!), finish my fourth full marathon at the Marine Corps Marathon in October, and make new friends along the way. This is my 3rd year as a pacer for our training program, and I’m looking forward to helping you reach your goals!

). But that setback has been what led me to all of you!!Hello my name is Marc and I have been a part of FRC almost from the beginning with Hamlin Jones and Morten Lileng. Great group of people to run and train with. Lots of interesting personalities and fun people. Look forward to helping everyone achieve their goals.
Hi, I’m Morten and I joined FRC in 2012. Over the years I have completed many full and half marathons, a few ultra marathons and some shorter races too. I enjoy trail marathons the most.
While the running is important for me personally, I really enjoy helping others to achieve whatever their goals are. This is why I became an RRCA certified running coach.
You have all taken the step to a happier and healthier lifestyle by joining the FRC program. You will also see that the friendships you develop here are likely to become some of the most meaningful. Mine certainly have.
Happy running!
