MEET THE CREW

MARK BRAVO - manager, training group head coach

I’ve always been a runner. It may well be the only reason I survived in my first “chosen” sport, basketball…those of you who know Mark’s physical stature understand that statement! What began with a friend’s invitation to a ‘6-mile run’ quickly turned to my favorite way to exercise, socialize and always helped me move toward “the best I could be” down every road of life. I still love everything about the sport, but joined my OK RUNNER friends (whom I came to for years for all things running) to enhance my engagement with those who love motion as much as I do. My miles don’t resemble those of the past, yet just as gratifying. I hope to lend that attitude to walkers and runners whom I meet at races, during my talks, and in the store! One doesn’t have to be an “elite” runner to be an athlete!
