I'm pumped to have run a big PR! I wanted to start out a little faster and latch onto a group of faster women. Typically I race from behind, taking the first mile slower and then ramping up my pace. But, that often means I'm not really "racing" with others - I'm ...

Human Race 8K 29:36
Unfortunately, not my best day. I'm not sure why - perhaps the heat, perhaps my legs (which were feeling the heat on my Saturday run, very flat & tired). But -- nonetheless, I'm proud of how I finished. Despite how flat I felt & hot warm I could tell I was getting ...
29:19 Human Race 8k! 4th Place
I've been meaning to get to this for FAR too long :). Rewind to the few days before the race. My legs were feeling the 3 weeks of higher mileage, and the fact that I wasn't letting up for this race. On Saturday I went out for an easy 5 miler. WOW, my legs felt weird. They ...
29:25 8K!!!!
Wow -- wouldn't have guessed I could run sub 29:30, at all! I made a bet with Nate the night before: 15 minutes massage if I ran sub 30:00. His personal best is a 30:04, and my personal best before today was a 30:34. So, 29:59 seemed like a reasonable goal. My legs didn't ...
![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?
