I'm really happy with how my Grandma's Marathon training has been going! Week 15 (to go): Mileage: 90 on 7 days, 5 doubles. Workout - just one big workout as I'm getting used to higher mileage: 16 miles with 25 mins, 20 mins, 15 mins, 10 mins at "hard" (Jerry's ...

2016 Fast and the Furry – Guest Post by Mesa
3rd place! 19:36 5k, our 2nd best time ever (fastest was 16:58 in 2012, recap here) Since my owner has been slow to update this blog-thing of hers, I decided to take over and write about the Fast and the Furry! I should take over this blog more often. It's ...
Fast and the Furry 5k – 1st place – 16:58
What a fun morning! Stunt Puppy invited us to participate, and of course, Mesa and I couldn't turn down the opportunity. We've done one other 5k race together and it was an absolute blast. I specifically didn't run Mesa the day before so she'd be nice and "rested" and more apt ...
![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?
