Ellen Rodriguez

Ellen has been running since 1978, and completed her first 26.2 mile marathon in 1991. Since then she has run three marathons, and four ultra marathons. She is a member of the Al Lawrence running club and the Houston Area Road Runners Association. In 2000, Ellen began to focus on competing in shorter distances (5K to 10K), and with instruction from Tom Tellez (former University of Houston Coach), Ellen has been winning age group awards -- but we're not saying which age group!

Ellen began organized strength training at the urging of her friend, Carl Lewis. Carl mentions her on page 32 and 33 of his book, "One More Victory Lap." (1996) Ellen continues to use the services of a personal trainer to enhance her own workouts. Ellen is certified as a personal trainer by ACE (the American Council on Exercise), and P.F.I.T. in association with the American College of Integrative Medicine. She is also certified as a Pilates Mat instructor by Powerhouse Pilates, and certified by the International Fitness Professionals Association (IFPA)) as a Sports Conditioning Specialist, and by the IFPA as a Golf Conditioning Specialist. Ellen is also a member of Aquatic Exercise Association (AEA).

Ellen's personal workouts include running, bicycle spinning, strength training and pilates at the Bryan Peters studio. You might see Ellen practicing at the Memorial Park Golf driving range! She is a lifetime member of Weight Watchers.
