So much happened yesterday. Wow! At the Winter Walk in Northfield Thursday evening. Greta met Santa for the first time! First, Work - As usual, for just 2.5 hours since I had my hours in for the week! Then, a Run: 6 miles easy, 8:38 pace I wanted to get in my 8-10 ...
Quilting
Chapter 2 – O. M. G. part 2
In the spirit of yesterday's post, here are details on some of the recent updates and happenings. - Running! I did my first hard workout yesterday at the Carleton arb. It was 10 x 60 seconds with 90 seconds recovery. I think it went well... as well it can go for someone that is ...
Pregnancy weeks 36-37
So... the version done to flip baby didn't work :(. I had prepared myself to endure whatever the doctors wanted to put me though (marathon/training mental prep works for other things as well!), but with no avail. It was painful, I'll give it that, but not as bad as it could have ...
Quilt Back Opinions?
I'm reaching out to those that might be more creative than me - need some votes/thoughts! [yes, this is a random, non-running, non-coaching post :)] I finished the top of my Irish Chain quilt this weekend. I then measured the fabric I bought for the back only to find out it was ...
Training Update – Week 4
42 miles - woot, woot! Big week, eh? Except it actually felt like it! Since when did 42 miles become hard? :) Workouts this week: Mon- 6 easy - this SUCKED. I did it indoors since the windchill was -15. I run differently on a treadmill vs. the roads, so not only was my right ...
Training Update – Week 3
First, the absolute BEST news: I WILL BE RUNNING FOR BROOKS AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!! I am so, so, SO grateful! What an awesome company. Despite the dismal end to my first year with them, I have the opportunity to chase that 2016 Qualifier with the Brooks logo in 2014! I am so thankful ...
![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.
