because you don't have to be fast to run
Before Nicole was so full of life & positivity.
After Nicole was drained of all energy & thought the end was near.
I fear these glasses give me an attitude😂
Enjoy my post 20 mile thoughts

The big 2 0!!!!
Thank god that’s over.
I feel like every marathon block, I just dread the 20 miler😂 18, 17, 16 those are all fine but the 20 I’m like cool I’ll be here for at least 4 hours💀
Anyways enough bitching it’s over with now! This was my slowest 20 I’ve ever done. I’m not sure what happened but my legs didn’t have it to move any faster & once I realized that I’m like screw it just take your time & you’ll get there eventually.
I had Mr. BAR with me for the first 10 & then my OG packmule, Sarah for the next 10 which really helped to break up the run. The plus side too, Sarah & I can talk about absolutely nothing for hours😂
By the time I 16, it was a walk/run & again, I didn’t care. I was thinking time on feet is just as important. I would be more nervous going into Chicago but luckily my 18 mile was so strong that I’m not stressing too much.
I am really excited to go for it in Chicago & really race a marathon for the first time.
3 weeks to go & now it’s taper time 😛. I know the crazies will set in here soon but this isn’t my first rodeo!!
Lastly & most importantly, I want to thank everyone who has donated to American Cancer Society over the last 15 weeks. I have hit my initial fundraising goal. Chicago will be so special for many reasons, my first major, I turn 30 the same day & I am running for something way bigger than myself. Truly I am so honored to be running for such an incredible organization.
Thank you & to all my chi runners, enjoy the taper!!
*this was my long run from last weekend - 9/13*
Let me tell you I love a deload long run! 10 miles WHAT A TREAT!!
On the bright side, I’m not sick anymore now & hopefully that’s it until after race day!
Just finished a big pasta dinner & getting ready for tomorrows 20 miler!
See you on the other side

I have the honor of running this race for American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society
For this weekends run, every $20 donated will sponsor 1 mile of this run. I have a very special video planned to go along with this but you’ll have to trust me on that.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart & can’t wait for this weekend!!😤😳
ACS donation page is linked directly in my bio #. If it’s easier you can venmo me - Nicolelinn & I can insert the donation on your behalf.
Week 14 of 18✅
A much needed deload week !!
Every deload week this training block, I have taken an extra rest day which has been wonderful!! This time around taking Monday as my extra rest kinda back fired bc I ended up feeling pretty sick Wednesday LOL
Luckily the worst of it was short lived & while my Saturday run felt like trash, Sunday long run was solid.
I’m officially in peak week & have a lot of work still left to do before Chicago but the end is near!!
*I am following a plan from you can use code BELOWAVERAGERUNNING for two free weeks*

LONG RUN SUNDAY!!!
Week 14 of 18 of Chicago Marathon training!!
GRATEFUL FOR A DELOAD WEEK!!
Today’s run was solid. I am coming off being sick (again I know, shoutout to my nephews for their germs) so today’s breakfast was an English muffin & dayquill. Ya it’s as bad as it sounds💀
On the bright side, my body felt strong it’s just that residual sore throat that lingers too long. Happy with today’s run & was rewarded with the most beautiful sunrise!!
Now on to peak week!! Long run of 20 miles this Saturday!!
I want to thank Rachel h, Juliet, Rachel d, Abril, Cheryl, Anna & Kayla for your donations to The American Cancer Society it means the world, thank you.
For next weekends, 20 miler, I will be sharing a graphic where you can sponsor a mile. I have an incredible video planned for it so just trust me on that one 😂
My glycerin max’s are on their last leg so let’s see if the ghost amp are it👀👀
