Following the adages “do what you love,” “follow your passion,” and “make work more like play,” I started a business as a personal running coach to supplement my work as a writer for Trail Runner magazine. I coach adults of all levels, for distances ranging from the 5K to 100 miles and multi-day stage races. It’s been greatly satisfying to help my clients reach their goals and try new adventures. My website is sarahlavendersmith.com. I’m also happily adjusting to a new chapter in life with Morgan Smith CdeP 1985 since both our kids are now at Thacher (Colly ’19 and Kyle ’16).
