Our FEATURED AMA OF THE WEEK:

Many thanks to Nicki Conroy, our latest featured Asheville Marathon (& Half) Ambassador, for doing such a great job keeping us updated with training updates and more @NickiinNY and #AvlMa.

This self proclaimed “Mom. Blogger. Marathoner.” has a great take on keeping motivated, and her commitment to running is evident! In her blog, NickisNook.net, she keeps us well informed with posts like a descriptive tour of running the Richmond Marathon from this November. Go check out her posts and tweets, and use her enthusiasm to motivate you in training for the Asheville Marathon, or Half!

My fall races are plentiful but my fall marathon is Richmond. I am hoping to PR at this race but my training has been hit and miss so if I run it at my current PR, I’ll be okay with that. Definitely looking forward to Asheville in 2014!
