Hello there, Steeps! I’m excited to welcome y’all to the inaugural “re-running” of the Steeplechasers blog, Intervals! As the new Intervals Blog editor, I plan on bringing you content twice a month where we focus on some of our members in our Member Spotlight posts, hear about all things running with our Coach’s Corner, read about the great races folks have run in our Running Recap section, and many more! Of course, we always welcome ideas and posts from our fellow Steeps, so please feel free to contact me. 

Speaking of which, I suppose I should introduce myself: I’m Heather and I’m a brand-new Steeps member! I joined earlier this year and jumped at the chance to volunteer some of my time towards this blog. I moved to Frederick about 6 years ago for a job, and use running for both physical and mental health. I’m currently training for the Frederick Half (Nut Job Challenge!) and will be running in the Baltimore Women’s Classic in June, as well as the Bay Bridge Run later this year! I also hope to bring a team from work to Ragnar Richmond in August – after we ran Ragnar Appalachia last year, we all decided we wanted something a little easier. 

I look forward to meeting everyone through this blog and engaging even more with the Steeps running community out from behind the screen!

Happy running!

Heather
