Crazy Legs
Apparently that’s what it’s called when you can’t control your legs & start tripping over them at the end of a marathon. It was also the cause of concern during the middle of last week. On Tuesday, I did 4×12 minutes at tempo pace. It felt terrible from the beginning (after the 1st one I…

One cool thing that happened yesterday: Gu sent me an entire bag of energy gels and chews!!!…
Hurry up and Wait
2 more days! I can’t wait! I’m just excited to race, lay it all out on the line, and see where I’m at. Can we fast forward to Saturday, please? Not sure if I’ve mentioned this here or not, but I’ll be running with Brenden Huber, the assistant Gustavus coach. I’m so lucky to have…
