The bad runs are necessary to have good runs...

Last two days, epic fail on the running front. I am taking my training for the one of my favorite races, the Millburn 4-Miler, very seriously....at least until two days ago. Perhaps I was overtraining? Perhaps I was undertraining? Perhaps... Continue reading

It's supposed to be Spring...
