Interesting Weekend – Beach Ford 5k And A Marathon Training Run
Somewhat last minute (i.e. a couple of hours before the race), I decided to run the All American Beach Ford 5k — a well established event put on by the Kingston Elementary PTA in the Kings Grant subdivision of Virginia Beach. I was planning a Saturday morning 5 or 6 miler anyway, so figured a [...]
