Jerry and I decided to take the majority of December to focus on hitting my VO2 times and also speeding up for 200m and 300m workouts. If you remember, at the start of December I had hit a rough patch in training; I was sick with the flu and then a sinus infection, a few ...
Track Workout
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 ...
Learnin’ to Fly
There was a dead bird on the side of the track today. A very pretty bird, really. Black and white patterned. Smaller in size. A couple of feathers were strewn a few inches from his (or her) body. I wondered how he died. I mean, really, that's a ...
Another track workout…
And another workout where I got to the track, and couldn't quite remember what the workout was. I thought the book said, 4x [200 with 200 jog, 200 with 400 jog, 800 with 400 jog]. Goal times, written on my hand because I know I have a hard time remembering these times are ...
![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?
