19:09!!
Not shabby for having run 15 times in the last 3 months! And won a Birkie entry — guess I’ll be skiing again this winter ๐
Last year at this point I was at my lowest low. I’ve chosen not to remember much of what went on; I’m sure my therapist has something to say about that coping mechanism. Sometimes a story might pop up here or there, but I usually don’t ask for memories – and honestly, my own memory…
I love getting and writing a plan. Jerry sent me the upcoming monthโs plan early this week. Ahh, nothing more fun :). There are 4 short weeks where Iโll focus on my 5k with 2 or 3 races (two for sure, both at GAC). Luckily, I put in a few quality mileage weeks before April…

1st place female, 6th overall. 1:37:50 officially. 8 minute PR because the only other 25k I’ve done on the roads was perhaps one of my worst races. Recap of that here, if you’re looking to kill time. http://runmdra.org/index.php/mdra-races/7-races/26-mdra-ron-daws-25k I did this to help get me through a long run/MP effort workout. It was such a…
Wow awesome! That was exactly 1:00 faster than I thought you would be – great job Nichole!!! I knew you hadn't lost much because of all the biking you continued to do. What a great boost of confidence for you! ๐
