I often get the impression that people assume that because I am pretty positive, I don’t deal with doubts when it comes to my running and racing. The truth is, nothing could be further from the truth. I struggle with mental doubts often but try to be as positive as I can in dealing with […]

We are getting so close, y’all. As I write this, I only have two workouts left. Taper starts on Thursday. I am feeling strong and ready. I had some mental doubts I dealt with this week (I will write about this in a separate post), but I was able to speak positivity into my running and […]
Berlin Marathon Training Recap – Three Weeks To Go!
