Back At It & Looking Ahead
Enjoyed a couple of days down time after the HAT Run 50K, but it didn’t take long for the legs to start twitching. I treated myself to a 90 minute sports massage on Tuesday and followed this up with a couple of easy afternoon miles over at the local soccer complex. Decided to spin a [...]
