![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless, Bailey proved she is a true athlete – and clearly a little bit crazy.īoth our runners made it into the office Monday morning with stories, medals, and a few sore muscles. ![]() However, we’re not quite convinced this cycle won’t repeat itself at least one more time. 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. Grandmas Marathon has grown from 150 participants in the first year to one of the largest and most famous marathons in the United States, now hosting more than 20,000 runners each June. Note, last year, she ran the full marathon with minimal training (not something she would advise). The marathon was founded by a local group of runners in 1977. ![]() 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.
