Sometimes you need to change your plans to make sure you stay on track for the goal. This past weekend, I had 15 miles on the training plan for New York City. Most of the crew that I usually run my long miles with were running a few local shorter races. There was a chance […]
Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with the, and it WILL change your life – Amy Poehler Last year at this time, I was spending the day recovering from my (at the time) longest ever run. I finished the Titletown Ultra Series with 26.35 miles in 7 […]
