Easy Wednesday 4 Miler
Not much to report tonight I’m afraid. After yesterday’s tough treadmill workout, I just decided on an easy 4 mile recovery run. I set off around 4:55pm with the last sunshine of the afternoon just visible above the tree line, and the weather much better than it has been on previous days (around 46°F) The [...]
Tuesday Treadmill Workout: Cheetah Fast!
