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 ...

Motivation Monday – Sleep!
I know all of you are probably starting to sketch out your training plans, so I'd thought I'd post on one of the "little things" you may want to think about early on in your cycle... SLEEP! It's probably the one thing that you always point to as something you could improve, but ...
Post ING NYC Marathon Monday Motivation
This comes to you from JFK Airport - because I'm such a dedicated blogger :). And I KNOW I've had millions of people checking this just WAITING for a post. Right? So, without further ado, check out the top 25 finishers at NYC. I could have been there. My life dream of top 10 ...
Track work and lovin’ life!
Oh, the track... After last week's 400s, I was feeling a little down. I know I need to move FASTER, but how to do that when your body just doesn't know how? Turns out, as I've been reminded every single cycle, it's just a matter of dusting off the legs and lungs. They know how ...
Planning Session with Jerry!
There are 20 week between now and Chicago. As Jerry reminded me, 20 weeks of opportunity to try to craft myself into the best marathoner I can be. He came prepared - as prepared as he has ever been. The first thing he showed me was a pace chart. I brought it ...
![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?
