I am really proud of how Grandma's went this year. In part because it was a 5 minute post-baby marathon PR, but also because I put my head down and went to WORK that morning. It was not my best day. Sometimes marathons are like that. That's the nature of the beast. The ...
Marathon Race Recap
DID IT – SUB 3!
Marathons are just as painful as I remember them. Just as sweet, too. Looking ahead to finish line. Dear goodness, please let me get there as soon as I can. I am very proud that I have been able to come back after Anna. On Sunday I ran the Twin Cities Marathon in 2:58:30, ...
2016 Grandma’s Marathon Recap – and an ER visit
So many things about this marathon were way different than ANY marathon I've ever done. I guess 22 weeks of pregnancy does that to a race! First, the "interesting" things: - I tried on my large women's TNC tank the week before the marathon... and it "fit" me as well as a ...
New World Record – 2:57:34 at Zoom! Yah! Yah! indoor marathon
What a great experience, made not by the run itself (which was a little painful, imagine that), but completely by the crowd that assembled to help get me there. I am truly blessed. Race recap (don't worry, I won't do it lap-by-lap!) I met Matt Eckberg, a 2:43 finisher at ...
![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?
