Marathons are just as painful as I remember them. Just as sweet, too. Looking ahead to finish line. Dear goodness, please let me get there as soon as I can. I am very proud that I have been able to come back after Anna. On Sunday I ran the Twin Cities Marathon in 2:58:30, ...
Twin Cities Marathon
TCM Miles 13.1-26.2
I crossed the 1/2 way mark at 1:26.11 or so. WAAAY behind my goal 1/2 time of 1:24.30. At this point, I'm easily cruising at 6:29 or below pace. I check in with myself: I'm feeling really good!! Should I start to push? I tell myself to continue to hold back. Stick to the ...
TCM Race Report
Finally! Life has been way too crazy lately :( I'd like to be as thorough as possible with this race report -- more for my own records than for blog-reader pleasure (sorry!). As such, I think I'll break this into multiple posts, and may be editing as I remember more. Where to ...
TCM Race report
2:51.26, chip time 1st Minnesota Woman, 20th Woman overall Gee... where do I even start with this? Guess I'll start with the new diet plan, which started the Monday. Per Jerry, I decided to try the 3 day no-carb, 3 day all-carb diet. I've tried the 3 day all-carb diet ...
2:51.30, 1st Minnesota Woman at TCM
No race report yet -- I still need to digest the race before I write anything here. It was a bittersweet race for me. I'm very happy to have run a fast time, especially considering how BADLY injured I was this May/June, and that I came from a fitness level pretty close to ...
![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?
