This was an odd, all-or-nothing week of workouts for me. I spent the first part of the week traveling to the frozen tundra (Minnesota) where there was zero chance of me running outside in near zero temps. Then I ended […]
Another year of running, racing, and race volunteer shifts is (nearly) in the books. My biggest running take-away for the year? 50 Miles! I ran 50 miles. I wasn’t sure I could do it, but I did. The final tally […]
