Marian

Written By Mona Angéline

Marian is a super strong and kind lady running the Recent Reno Marathon in May! She has run seventeen (!) marathons, but somewhere in the second half, she usually has trouble staying relaxed and on pace.

We determined that we'll need to work on two aspects:

1) Long runs! Marian has a serious talent for churning out these races on shorter runs, and I believe a regular longer run will really help with that second half of the race!

2) Fueling and hydration! The #1 disruptor in races longer than a half marathon is probably hydration and fueling. We'll make sure to train with the sort of products Marian will use in her race so her body can run strong the entire way.

You've got this, Marian!!

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.
