Welcome!

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel Waterhouse and I am a running enthusiast! I've competed in over 60 5Ks and am aspiring to train for my first half-marathon in the spring. I would like to use this blog as an opportunity to share encouragement and advice to new runners. I will draw from my personal experiences and integrate professional opinions. I entitled this page "The Extra Mile" because, while I will be offering running advice, I will also leave room for an array of inspirational quotes and stories of the good in humanity. I think in order to be a good runner you must have a positive mind. This page is intended to motivate others to go the extra mile, not only in running, but in life.
