Blast From The Past: Football Field Sprints
Had a great workout this afternoon which took me back a few decades to my high school football (or soccer for the US audience) training days. I jogged the mile and a half to the local Princess Anne Athletic Complex, changed into my Nike Air Zoom Waffles XC spikes and off I went. You can [...]
Wednesday Workout: I Ran, I Ran So Far Away
