I took some days off. I finally realized, after 4 marathons, that taking time off when you are sluggish and sore and tired is a good thing, and that making myself feel bad is not the best training tool. It … Continue reading →

I did my 5 and this was how it looked for me for most of the run. Okay…okay, I did most of my run. 4.85 miles. And, as expected, it starts snowing AFTER my run. Feh. I hate global warming.
