Meet Our Winter Coaches

As hot as it is out there, it's hard to believe it, but we are only weeks away from the start of winter season training. We'll be sending participants to Disney for the marathon, the half marathon, the Goofy Challenge and even the Dopey Challenge. And of course, we'll be filling the streets of Houston with purple as we run the Chevron Houston Marathon and Aramco Houston Half Marathon.

All these great events are happening in January and training begins September 6. It's our great privilege to introduce you to our winter season coaching staff, the fabulous men and women who will get you ready for race day...

Memorial Park:
Norma & Luke met through Team In Training seven years ago. See, TNT is a great place to fall in love! This couple got married in May and they are excited to coach runners and walkers training out of Memorial Park.

Norma works in sales & marketing at Reliant Energy. She was born in Houston, but raised in Mexico City (padrisimo!). She loves photography, cats, traveling and Latin dancing!

Luke is Director of Operations & Franchise Development at Russo's Pizzeria. He's from New Mexico, but has lived in many places including New Jersey, California, South Carolina and of course Texas. He is an Ironman who enjoys traveling, watching football and listening to rock music.

These two have been part of our TNT family for seven years and they love meeting new participants.

 

The Woodlands:

Bill has been involved in TNT for a decade. He's been honored teammate, participant and coach for triathlon and marathon. 

Bill works at Talisman Energy in The Woodlands. He was born in North Carolina and has lived in many places, but he was raised mostly in Dallas/Fort Worth. His background in sports is in soccer, swimming and bull riding. Following his treatments for lymphoma, Bill started doing triathlons and marathons and he is also an Ironman.

 

Terry Hershey Park:

Anna has been a part of the TNT family for many years. Her energy and enthusiasm for the mission and for the sport are amazing.

 

Anna is an educator so she's pretty busy during the school year, but she is completely devoted to her TNT participants. She enjoys coaching because "it's humbling to have a part in the participants' transformation into marathoners and have helped them cross that finish line." Anna feels a lot of passion for the TNT cause because her friend's son died of lymphoma.
