Twin Cities Marathon

November 21, 2019 By Nichole Porath 3 Comments

To say TCM didn't go as I expected or hoped is an understatement. I was really proud of the training build-up going into the race. While not remarkable, it was solid, and that was what I was hoping for after a really rocky winter and spring. I often felt slower than I had been ...

June 22, 2016 By Nichole Porath 2 Comments

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 ...
