🌟 2026 Clinic Spotlight: Nathan House 🌟

"I left the Army believing I just wasn't good at exercise. I had no confidence, no guidance, and honestly, I hated running."

By 2023, Nathan found himself at a crossroads—facing a cancer diagnosis. As he recovered from treatment, he started with a simple walk. That walk turned into a mile, then two, and eventually a daily streak of "closing his rings" that has now lasted over 1,040 days.

Even after finding a fitness "tribe" in F3, Nathan was reluctant when his wife, Angie, suggested the Cabot Cruisers Clinic in 2025.

"I already had my routine. I didn't think I needed a clinic. But it opened up a whole new world of friendship."

Through the clinic, Nathan connected with leaders and runners who turned "suffering through miles" into genuine encouragement.

When training for a 50K trail run brought setbacks, it was his Cruiser friends who picked him up with the advice and support he needed to succeed.

The Results:
• From struggling with a mile to finishing the Little Rock Marathon (3:38).
• Crushing a sub-20:00 5K (19:35) at the 2026 Spring Fling.
• Gone from "hating the run" to running distances up to 30 miles.
• Most importantly: Watching his wife, Angie, smash her own goals alongside him.

Now, Nathan is stepping in as an Advanced Group Leader to give back to the community that showed him what was possible.

💬 "At 48, I’m doing things I thought were impossible in my 20s. The clinic isn't just about the miles; it's about the people who help you run them."

Whatever you’re looking for, Nathan and the Cruisers have a spot for you!!!

🌟 Our next Clinic Spotlight: Erik Pogue 🌟

After two knee surgeries during his time in the Air Force, Erik was told he’d never run again—and for years, he didn’t. After retiring, he had pretty much sworn off exercise altogether.

But everything changed when he found out he was going to be a grandfather. ❤️

Erik joined the Cabot Cruisers Run/Walk Clinic in 2024 planning to walk—but after connecting with clinic leaders and getting properly fitted for stability shoes at Rock City Running, he discovered something incredible… he could run again.

The journey wasn’t perfect. Like many of us, Erik overdid it early on and faced setbacks. But instead of giving up, he came back stronger in 2025—this time trusting the process, listening to his body, and leaning on the support of the clinic.

And the results speak for themselves 👇
🏃 First-ever 10K
🏃 Completed the Little Rock Half Marathon
🏃 Dropped his 5K time from 49:00 to 34:04
🏃 250 miles in 2025 → on pace for 500 miles in 2026
🏃 Now competing in the Arkansas Running Grand Prix Series

Now, Erik is giving back as a Beginner Runner Group B leader, helping others discover what’s possible. 🙌

At 52 years old, he’s proving that it’s never too late to chase goals, defy expectations, and do hard things.

💬 “The clinic taught me that I can do things at 52 that I was told I’d never do again in my 30s.”

We’re so proud of you, Erik—and so grateful you’re helping inspire the next group of runners! 🎉

🌟 Our Next Clinic Spotlight: Rebecca Schiermeyer 🌟

Run/Walk Clinic started for Rebecca back in 2005 as a walker with Ms. Vic and Ms. Jane leading the way. Fast forward to 2017, and after telling Brenda Ransom “this girl doesn’t run,” she refused to take no for an answer—and she’s so glad she did!

The running bug caught, and Rebecca has been going ever since. She runs using intervals, but she is still a runner… because if you run, you ARE a runner! 💪

Now, she’s giving back as one of our leaders for Beginner Runner B—helping others take those same first steps and discover what they’re capable of. 🙌

Whether you want to walk, run, or run/walk, there’s a place for you here. Come join us! 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️

🔥 ITS TIME FOR OUR FIRST 2026 RUN/WALK CLINIC SPOTLIGHT: Trevor Wilson! 🔥

“I went from swearing off running after the Army… to running the Spring Fling 5K.”

What started as a random decision just to have something to do turned into something so much more. Running may have brought him in—but it’s the camaraderie that kept him coming back.

Week after week, it became about familiar faces, new friendships, and sharing the miles together.

“I’ve made some of my best friends from the clinic.”

💬 “You don’t have to be fast.
You can be brand new.
You don’t have to know anyone.”

We got you!

“We all run or walk and we experience it together.” ❤️

Whether your goal is to move more or just not run alone—we’ve got you.

“Come on… you’re gonna be stuck with us!” 😄

🏃‍♂️ “Clinic is the reason I became a runner.”🏃

Trevor is now one of our advanced group leaders for 2026! We have a place for you! ❤️
