I feel like I've made good progress with this mysterious "injury" but am not quite there yet - and am not willing to give up and live with what I have, at least not quite yet! The last month I've done a few things to help further my knowledge of what's going on and fix the root ...

It’s April 2nd So You Know I’m Not Fooling You
So many awesome things happening around here! Let's get down to some updates: 1.Training is going great (although read #2)! I feel like I am at home now, following Meghan's workouts. If I were writing things for myself, this is how I would write things - but HURRAH - someone ...
Life Updates from the Polar Vortex
Brr, it's been cold here in MN! Schools have been cancelled that last 4 days. I can't remember a time when we've had that many cancellations. Today reached a windchill of -59. Yikes. I hardly ever run inside, but I did today. There has been a ton happening here , but so little ...
Merry Christmas 2018!
Merry Christmas from the Porath family! There was so much to be happy for in 2018. Nichole was promoted to Director of Finance at Bethel Lutheran Church. She has really enjoyed transforming their finance department while also enjoying the flexible schedule that only a church ...
Catching up a bit
Nordic Ski season has started, just 2 weeks after the Cross Country Running season ended. Not nearly enough time to get myself organized, catch up on things, etc, especially since there was a cross country banquet, end of season book to create, and a 5k fundraiser I needed to ...
TCM 2018: 2:52!
What a day! A new post-babies PR for me in 2:52:48. 15th place among 3,185 women. 10th place American. I had been battling a cold all week, so much so that I took an unplanned day off on Tuesday because my muscles felt achy. I started taking calcium, magnesium, and zinc ...
![Well, Grandmas marathon did not go as I hoped. My legs felt awful from the gun - which makes for a long 26.6 mile trek! 3:07 long, to be exact (goal was sub 2:50). I don’t know if I was fighting off Anna’s bug or what (she was home with me on Tuesday because of a fever) - but my legs have never felt like that.
Despite that, the experience in Duluth is second to none, and made even more fun by all of my TNC Endurance athletes competing. I could gush about how proud I am of them all day! Their accomplishments outshine mine any day - I love my job as a coach 💕. Congrats to all, and like I’ve been known to say: let’s start scheming about those fall goals! [It’s a really good thing I love the process of marathon training. Seriously. Make training and all of the little things hard, make scheduling time for it tough, make my mind and body ache through training runs — there’s just something about the daily discipline it takes! A special kind of crazy? Probably 🤪] #tncendurance #marathonsareabeast #teamucan #generationucan #sevensundaysmuesli #runhappy #stillaftersub250 #lifegoals](http://scontent-dfw5-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/9c399c2cff55a8be530784fd64307929/5DC813BA/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/65176881_2314513095269533_4011964799912730788_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.cdninstagram.com "Well, Grandmas marathon did not go as I hoped.
