I talked just a little bit about this race in my last half training update but that was just a little teaser to get you to read this post. And it worked! See I’m really smart. I signed up for this one way, way back when I was feeling all itchy to race. I was... Continue Reading →
I took this photo a few weeks ago when I was too late getting out to take a good one. In the end I didn't even post my run that night. It's just a quick shot while I was still running. It was a really hot Sunday night and the beach was still really packed... Continue Reading →
