Rainy Eight Miler, Push Ups & Action Wipes
Thoroughly enjoyable eight miler in the rain earlier today. It was raining when I set out and raining when I finished about an hour later, but luckily it wasn’t cold and the miles flew by. The first mile was a nice easy 7:44, but I was soon splashing through the puddles in the low sevens. [...]
New Shoe Saturday And A New Treadmill Workout To Try

Great workout and [...]
