Mesa

Week 5 already? Nothing really exciting here, but in the spirit of logging the journey back, here it goes! Training recap: Mon - 5 easy. Nothing really interesting or not interesting about the run. Tue- OFF!!! Wed- 9 miles moderate with Craig and it was just BEAUTIFUL out! ...
Stunt Puppy is taking Mesa and me to Austin
Well, not really... Leave it to Marcie to come up the COOLEST expression for this picture! But mostly :) Just in poster form. And yes, this is bigger than life-sized. I am more than slightly embarrased! This is the most gigantic picture of myself that I have ever seen (or ...
Stunt Puppy to the Rescue!
Mesa is one unhappy camper. Not only does she normally hate it when I taper, but I've been in taper mode for the 2 weeks before Chicago and the 3 weeks between Chicago and NYC. Don't let her cuteness fool you... when she is not run, she gets crazy eyes. To sum up how much ...
Fast and the Furry 5k – 1st place – 16:58
What a fun morning! Stunt Puppy invited us to participate, and of course, Mesa and I couldn't turn down the opportunity. We've done one other 5k race together and it was an absolute blast. I specifically didn't run Mesa the day before so she'd be nice and "rested" and more apt ...
Doggie 5k – the Fast and the Furry!
Mesa and I are officially registered to represent the Stunt Puppy team at the Fast and the Furry 5k9 (get it? :)) on May 25th!!!! http://www.fastandthefurry.com/ We are both super excited about it (well, I am... she just cocks her head to the side and stares at me :)). ...
![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.
