Another workout that looked impossible…
And it went GREAT! Like, seriously great. 🙂 I decided to do these on a treadmill becuase it was pouring out all evening. Nate snuck a picture, I’ll post it later today. 🙂 Workout: 20 min warm up, 20 minute tempo, 20 minutes easy, 20 minutes tempo, 20 min CD I thought to myself, there’s…
It’s been a while…
Well, I survived the Birkie — yeah! The first 15k were pretty ugly (my legs felt terrible and didn’t exactly remember how they were supposed to move), but then it was pretty easy. Thank goodness I’m fit and my legs are strong from the running I do. I think I finished 190th or so for…

I’ll present budgets for Europe, Japan, North America for 3 different brands. At the same time I’ll give recommendations on how to change…
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!
