Eeps. Week 2 was less than stellar. Between a late meeting, having in-laws in town, and just generally feeling unmotivated, I only got in 10 miles and 2 strength training sessions. Womp, womp. Ever since my crazy fall racing schedule … Continue reading
I’ve gotten pretty muddy on many occasions – you might say I’m a bit of a mud connoisseur. I’ve gotten muddy at work (more times than I care to admit)… At play… And while running… Twice… But the third time’s … Continue reading
This happened. On Sunday, to be exact. Yep, I ran Warrior Dash again. I ran it in May of last year with Ian and some friends, but I tackled it solo this time around, and it. Was. AWESOME! I wasn’t … Continue reading
