Caitlin

Marathon
Written By Mona Angéline

Welcome to the team! Caitlin is training for her first marathon, the Jack and Jill Marathon near Seattle. It's a slight downhill course on an old railroad bed and goes through a two-mile tunnel.

Caitlin's goal is to finish with intention, feeling strong. That's a really commendable goal for a first marathon. We'll make sure to gradually introduce longer runs while testing different fueling options on the way.

In 2022, I paced the 3:40 group down the mountain at Jack and Jill with OnPace. This isn't about me, but knowing the terrain and course could come in handy to prepare Caitlin in the best possible way.

We're so glad you're here, Caitlin!

Mona Angéline is an unapologetically vulnerable writer, reader, book reviewer, artist, athlete, and scientist. She honors the creatively unconventional, the authentically "other". She shares her emotions because the world tends to hide theirs. She is a new writer, but her work was recently accepted in Flash Fiction Magazine, Grand Dame Literary, tiny wren lit, Down in the Dirt Magazine, The Viridian Door, The Machine, Whisky Blot Magazine, and The Academy of Mind and Heart. She loves to review books and has written them for the /tƐmz/ Review, the Ampersand Review, and the Beakful Litblog. Sooner or later she will have to condense this list… Mona is also a regular guest editor for scientific journals although she doesn't use a pen name when her engineering PhD degree is involved. She lives bicoastally in Santa Cruz, California, and in New York and savors life despite, or maybe because of, her significant struggles with chronic illness and mild disability.
