1st place female, 6th overall. 1:37:50 officially. 8 minute PR because the only other 25k I've done on the roads was perhaps one of my worst races. Recap of that here, if you're looking to kill ...

Human Race 8k – 29:06, 13 second PR!
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 ...
17:36.66 Alumni 5k!
New all-time PR - that's 4 for 4 so far in 2011! Although a little slower than my goal (2.5 seconds off of the stadium record), I'm still very happy with it. It was really windy on Saturday (15mph), and I ran solo from the beginning. The next girl was over 30 seconds behind ...
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 ...
17:52 – 2nd Place
Another indoor personal best! To be honest, I was really hoping for something in the 40s, (I think when I set out goals a few months ago, I was hoping to be around 17:45 by this point in time). But, it wasn't a bad race by any means (very tactful, a lot of women vying for ...
10:23.46!
An all-time personal best indoor 3k for me. And it felt GREAT! I felt completely in control, strong, and smooth the entire race. I hit 41s pretty much every lap (42s were the goal). I'm normally a really consistent pacer, but I was a little surprised by this just because I ...
![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?
