So proud of my athletes who achieved their goals at the Boston Marathon today!

• Sheila who beat her 4-hour goal with minutes to spare.
It was a good day.

Thanks Shokz for the sweet bottle and drawstring bag! Both will be in my travel rotation.
The collapsible bottle is perfect for using on a plane while not taking up much room when not in use. The bag's extra pockets are super helpful when I don't want a bulky backpack to tote around.

18 miles with 3x10x2 in Z3.
Heard on the Singletrack podcast during my ride that Courtney Dauwalter was considering all sorts of options including gravel bike riding.
That's also intriguing to me, too.
For now, just need to get healed and get back to running. Fingers crossed.
Keep showing up.

At Monday's Boston Marathon, nothing is certain in the elite women’s race. Will Kenya’s Sharon Lokedi defend her crown–or even take down her course record? Will an American end the drought and reach the podium for the first time since Des Linden’s victory in 2018?

Longest bike ride ever. 🚴✅
Felt smooth in mostly Z2, with a bit in Z3.
That was more of a mental than physical challenge. That’s a lot of time on the stationary bike.
Keep showing up.
Stay in motion.
Head up.
Dream big.
Onward.
