Meet Heather Mursch
Team Challenge Coach for Vegas 2010

Heather and her 8 year old son at the Cleveland Marathon


Team Challenge is extremely priveleged to have Heather Mursch as our coach for the Rock N' Roll Las Vegas Winter 2010 season!

Heather began her running career in July of 2004 when she decided to change her life around and get into shape.  She ran her first half marathon in November of 2005 and proceeded to keep working out and running, losing 30 pounds in the process.  She made fitness a priority in her life and ended up becoming a group fitness instructor in January of 2008.

Her first marathon was on May 2, 2010 in Pittsburgh, PA.  When she wasn't satisfied with her experience due to inclement weather the day of the race, and a hilly course, she ran the Cleveland Marathon two weeks later on May 16th!  The Cleveland Marathon was just what she was looking for, and walked away feeling victorious - exactly how she though she would feel after Pittsburgh.  She says running Cleveland was "one of the best decisions I've ever made."

This is Heather's first season with Team Challenge, and she is excited to join the team as our coach!  In addition to Team Challenge, Heather works in Mentor, OH as a 401(k) Administrator, teaches group fitness classes, and has recently become the group fitness coordinator at one of the local gyms.  When she isn't busy with one of her many jobs, she enjoys watching her 8 year old son play soccer and baseball.  She also enjoys experiencing the many great Cleveland restaurants with her husband.

Heather is anxious to start training, and is expecting to finish this experience strong with all of you!  She thrives on motivating people, and can't wait to see everyone achieve their goals on December 5th in Las Vegas!

Meet Heather at an upcoming information meeting! Use her training schedule to make a difference in your life as well as the lives of others!
