If you’d like to be notified next time I write something, sign up for email alerts or subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for reading!
Another encouraging long run, despite racing a tough mile on the track yesterday. Ran the first 5 miles with a couple of friends I unintentionally met at the beginning of […]
Tidewater Striders Mile
It’s not often you get to race a mile on a track, so I decided to sign up for the Tidewater Striders Mile and see how fast I could cover the classic track and field distance.
