Not everyday you get to present an athlete for the Hall of Fame. Was honored to present as she was inducted into the MNU hall of fame. There is not better athlete or person to represent what it means to be a hall of fame! My time at MNU was a highlight if my career and it's because of amazing athletes like Bethany.
I'm also now 2/2 on attending Browm family inductions as I was there in 2018 when Bethany's dad Dr. Brown was also honored. ๐

Keep at it. After two weeks of my mileage not quite lining up, its been good to have several days in a row go as expected. Thus morning was recovery pace 8 miles followed by an athlete run of 2x1 mi.
We have been doing solid winter training and my athlete opened up the first repeat just about 10 seconds off their PR, then we doubled back with a solid second mile rep after we recovered. Really encouraging to see athletes work come together. Proud of what they jave done and excited for their racing this spring and summer!
Your training and life will certainly have ups and downs. Consistently trying is how you navigate through to success. So, keep at it!

It's been a minute, but it's time to toe the line this year. Best tip for an A race: Bring together a team of pacers you can't bear to disappoint.

Honestly some of the most fun running in my life!! Find yourself a relay team and have fun.
It wasn't about winning, or awards. It's about doing it with teammates and having a blast.

As per usual, I'm late with results but the last two weekends have been big for Team O Athletes!
Last week in Chicago added to her World Marathon Majors and had another good Marathon, we've come so far since NAIA nationals and her journey is highlighted in past podcast episode if you want to check that out.
Also in Chicago .a.triathlete was set on having an amazing race and she did just that. Taking almost 30 minutes off her spring Boston Marathon time she crushed a 3:16 ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ!!
This weekend was the KC Marathon and half Marathon where Team O had first time half runner Mary and first time full runner David. Both came through with great runs.
I am so proud and inspired by these individuals. Truly the best job in the world.
(OH and I got to take a picture with steeple American Record holder Courtney Frerichs this morning) ๐
