Meet Nick Katsarelas
Nick Katsarelas, 51
Nick says he is the slowest runner you will ever meet. He can never keep with up with the guys at work. By the time he has finished they are showered, dressed and back to their desks. In 2007 he made a New Years Resolution to increase his speed and distance – he had not been in an organized race for 25 years nor had he ran more the 7 miles. He completed the Fifth Third 25K, Reeds Lake 5K and Optimal You 5K. Due to a sprained and broken ankle, he was unable to complete the Grand Rapids Marathon. Nick is still working on his speed. He has diligently educated himself with the mantra of information out there for inspired runners, but needs some direction and coaching.
