Made it!
Wow, Wednesday’s workout was a good one (and by good, I mean tough). 4×1 mile at tempo, 1 min rest (6:12, 6:11, 6:10, 6:09)5 minute rest3×1 mile at tempo (all at 6:07) I survived! It wasn’t as easy as last week’s tempo run. Probably because it had a total of 12 more minutes at the…

Hey Nichole! How's it going? I just came across your blog. Well done on your 11th place. I look forward to reading more about your training and successes 🙂
I, too, just discovered your blog and look forward to reading more. I ran the marathon at Grandma's as well but was no where close to your time! I did, however, cut 15 minutes off my PR, so I was happy about that!
