Kolbe Ricks | Model Behaviors

Hey, everyone! It’s Courtney here. Recently my sister and I started training for a 5K. We’re participating in The Comeback Circle and wanted an affordable way to get ourselves back in shape. A little over a year ago, my friend Kolbe started entering races and making running a bigger part of her life, so it made sense to ask her for some tips for new runners to help get me started.

Read her advice below if you’re planning to start a brand-new running routine or if you’re returning to the habit after some time away. Over the past few weeks, she’s helped me stick to my plan, and these tips have made my transition a lot more manageable!

Hey, y’all. Courtney here! For this week’s Song of the Week, I asked my friend Kolbe to write about anything she’s been jamming a lot lately. Kolbe is a middle school teacher, the associate editor for Texas Towns Revealed, and a fellow music lover like me. In fact, when my sister and I booked our very first show ever as The Villettes, Kolbe graciously stepped in and sang harmonies with me. We’ve also gone to tons of shows together and recorded embarrassing Nirvana and Stevie Nix YouTube covers (if you can find those videos, you are my hero). You might’ve spotted her in my recent Miles post about Tyler, Texas. In effect, she is one of my closest friends and I love her.

Please give Kolbe a warm Model Behaviors welcome!
