So SAD!
Both times we’ve had a major snow storm, Nate’s been in Hibbing. That leaves me to try to clear our driveway. Ug. It’s 2+ cars wide, and long. Today I successfully cleared 1/2 of it. Success! Only took 1.5 hours. I was actually really proud of this. The end of the driveway is always the…

Done as a marathon pace workout (goal was 1:20-1:21). Happened to be a 2+ minute lifetime PR as well (only because my previous PR was from…
Planning in process…
Researching and writing out a training plan is pretty time consuming. I haven’t quite committed yet, but I’m thinking about switching over my plan to Jack Daniel’s. The old plan was out of “Advanced Marathoning”. I’ve mapped out Jack’s medium difficulty training plan. Figured it wouldn’t be smart to make a training philosophy change AND…
