Running, Racing, Coaching and Life with Nichole Porath
I feel like I've made good progress with this mysterious "injury" but am not quite there yet - and am not willing to give up and live with what I have, at least not quite yet! The last month I've done a few things to help further my knowledge of what's going on and fix the root of the problem. It is ...
So many awesome things happening around here! Let's get down to some updates: 1.Training is going great (although read #2)! I feel like I am at ...
Brr, it's been cold here in MN! Schools have been cancelled that last 4 days. I can't remember a time when we've had that many cancellations. Today ...
There have been many questions about where I have been and why this blog has been so quiet over the last 8 months. I have alluded to some things, and some of you know parts of the story, but I want ...
What a fun morning! Stunt Puppy invited us to participate, and of course, Mesa and I couldn't turn down the opportunity. We've done one other 5k race together and it was an absolute blast. I ...
What a great experience, made not by the run itself (which was a little painful, imagine that), but completely by the crowd that assembled to help get me there. I am truly blessed. Race recap ...
![Well, Grandmas marathon did not go as I hoped. My legs felt awful from the gun - which makes for a long 26.6 mile trek! 3:07 long, to be exact (goal was sub 2:50). I don’t know if I was fighting off Anna’s bug or what (she was home with me on Tuesday because of a fever) - but my legs have never felt like that.
Despite that, the experience in Duluth is second to none, and made even more fun by all of my TNC Endurance athletes competing. I could gush about how proud I am of them all day! Their accomplishments outshine mine any day - I love my job as a coach 💕. Congrats to all, and like I’ve been known to say: let’s start scheming about those fall goals! [It’s a really good thing I love the process of marathon training. Seriously. Make training and all of the little things hard, make scheduling time for it tough, make my mind and body ache through training runs — there’s just something about the daily discipline it takes! A special kind of crazy? Probably 🤪] #tncendurance #marathonsareabeast #teamucan #generationucan #sevensundaysmuesli #runhappy #stillaftersub250 #lifegoals](http://scontent-dfw5-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/9c399c2cff55a8be530784fd64307929/5DC813BA/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/65176881_2314513095269533_4011964799912730788_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.cdninstagram.com "Well, Grandmas marathon did not go as I hoped.
