20:20 or so at the Musky Festival 5k. I was the second woman (out sprinted at the end). I actually haven't looked up the official results. --- I was so excited to race this weekend! Jerry was kind enough to allow for a mini-taper (i.e. only 64 miles that week!) so that morning ...
Injury
Earth Day 1/2, GAC Alumni 5k
I've raced the last two weekends: at the Earth Day 1/2 Marathon and at the Gustavus Drake Alternative (Alumni) Track meet. Both have gone... okay. Earth Day 1/2 Marathon This is one of my favorite Spring races. Two of my athletes came up to race with me, which made the event ...
Two terrible, no good, very bad workouts
I am obviously over-exaggerating, but I can't help but reference a great children's book! It's the children's librarian in me (high school job - LOVED it!) :) Exaggerating or not, Monday and Tuesday were given to me to challenge my resolve. Monday I met up with Brian at ...
Buck Up – You aren’t Losing Your Legs
I went into Dr. Bahl yesterday to start some of the easy blood tests. I know him from my Red Wing YMCA days. He is the kindest individual I have ever met! So kind, in fact, that it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about him and how much he truly just wants to help. I don't ...

Instead of individually commenting, thought I'd post here. First of all, THANK YOU to all that have written and commented here. WOW. I am in awe of the support. Seriously. Things that have been suggested: B12 - I actually had this tested before Fargo when the doc ...
The Curious Case of the Clumsy Legs – Calling all SLUETHS!
The Clues: 1. Being sick often. Perhaps I've developed allergies because my sinuses seem to continually be congested. I've literally been congested the last 4 weeks. No lie. Not with actual stuff, just inflamed (or whatever happens to them) enough to make me sound really ...
![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?
