The Hardest Part I have been doing a lot of thinking in regards to the last 12 km of my marathon. Do not get me wrong not one part of the race is going to be easy but the last 12 km are the ones that you really have to dig deep for. When I … Continue reading Marathon Psychological Training

My First Marathon
Well it is official I am finally a Marathoner! Yesterday I ran my very first marathon and cannot believe how alive (and sore) I feel! The weekend in a whole was amazing.

That Wasn’t So Bad
Now before you get to excited about this one let me emphasize the SO in the sentence above. This morning I woke up and didn't completely dread the idea of running. That's a start right?

Beep Beep Wake Up
