0 miles Not sure when the last time I had a complete non-running weekend but it’s been a long while. This time around I felt as though I was missing something but I’ll take this week as a cutback week. And now on to Week 11! Thank you for reading my daily post on my…
0 miles While my body feels good after yesterday’s 15 miles, I knew this day wasn’t going to be conducive to a long run, or any run for that matter. But that’s okay. Sometimes we need to adjust our sails. Thank you for reading my daily post on my Chicago Marathon training.
