Biography

Hi, my name is Tim Ferrell, and I am one of the founding members of Central Florida 5Klub. I was a collegiate cross country runner at Carson-Newman College and a high school athlete at Lake Worth High School where I played football, soccer, and was a 4-year starter on the men’s volleyball team. I currently coach the Women’s volleyball team at East Ridge High School. Over the last couple of years I have gotten out of running shape and I began feeling a need to get back into shape. Inspired by Grant Mollett and my enjoyment of running, I decided to commit myself to running again.

Goals

Lifestyle goals for me include getting into better shape, looking good for the upcoming wedding, getting physically stronger, and being the man champion that I once was.

I have a few running goals for 2008. First, I would like to be sub 21:00 by the end of the year. Next, I would like to beat all boys and girls, aged 12 and under. Lastly, each event in which I compete, I want to see improvement in time from the previous event.

Accomplishments

In high school, I was an all-area setter and libero in volleyball. I did not run cross country until college. In college I ran mainly 8K’s in about 30:00 – 35:00. I also helped start up, played and coached a volleyball club at our college. Since I've returned to running in late 2007, here are some of my accomplishments.
