![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.
