Just a quick update - I headed to the U of MN to see Dr. Bond (could there BE a cooler name than that?) on Tuesday. Like so many of you suggested, I just explained where my head and heart were at. He started out by asking me about my symptoms, how I thought I was managing, ...

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?
