Nice to meet you!

Hi there, my name is Monica. I used to be a regular here but this little thing called life has kept me away. It's been too long... way too long. So I'm back now and back for good. Let me bring you up to speed...

In the smallest nutshell I could manage, here's what my past 2 months have looked like:
  • I finished IMKY, but the coolest news from that day is that every single athlete I helped coach also finished the race. It was incredible!
  • I got a job as a Health Educator. My co-workers are awesome and I feel right at home, and my supervisors are the type of people that you really want to work hard for.
  • I'm personal training and coaching at The Training Studio, which couldn't be going much better. I work with some of the most passionate and experienced people in the biz. We're putting together big things!
  • I bought a condo! I know what you're thinking... NO, I have no idea how to cook and I have flooded the kitchen because I used the wrong soap in the dishwasher, but I'm super pumped to learn new things (like how to do the laundry) and live in the Park!!
  • I'm training for the Columbus Marathon on October 18th! This will be my first stand alone mary and I am totally freaking out about it!

PLEASE send me thoughts on what has worked for you during your marathons!! I need the inside scoop and I would love to hear a good success story because right now 20 miles = slow death. Help!
