At this time, Bailey isn’t planning on signing up for another marathon.

The race went about as well as could be expected without training (again, not advised).

Spirits and hopes were high months out when training started, until Bailey came to the realization that she actually doesn’t like running … and, once again, stopped training. Note, last year, she ran the full marathon with minimal training (not something she would advise). A few days following the race they seem to still be experiencing runner’s high – having thrown around the idea of registering for the full marathon next year.īailey Politely Says “No Thanks” To Training, Still Crushes Itīailey’s journey started out similarly, signing up for the half marathon on October 1 and promising herself she would train for it this year. Fortunately, thanks to some miscalculations on their actual pace, Mindy and Cole kicked it into overdrive the last few miles and crushed their goal, finishing in 1 hour and 52 minutes. Mindy’s one goal? Finish in less than two hours. While training, the most they ever ran was 7 miles, a mere 6.1 miles less than what they’d run on race day.

Neither of them necessarily “love” to run, however, they regularly work out and figured it was time to cross a Duluth-staple off their bucket list. Mindy’s half marathon journey started back on October 1, when registration opened and her and her boyfriend Cole decided to team up and run it for the first time together.
