Training Update

Time for an update: March ’21

March 3, 2021 By Nichole Porath 3 Comments

Training update: There is something fun about building fitness after pregnancy (or an injury). Is it because progress is so easy to see? Or my achiever mindset - where I wake up everyday, excited to get after it, improve on the day before, etc - and building from the bottom up ...

Back to running, what else would you expect?

Twin Cities Marathon

November 21, 2019 By Nichole Porath 3 Comments
