Running Diary: Training Plan – Here We Go!
Wow, what a week. To say I was happy for this week to be over and for a three day weekend would be an understatement. I was angry, exhausted, overwhelmed, elated, excited, and energetic all at once. This was the first week of our 50 miler training plan and all in all I think it… Continue reading

Running Diary: A Stressful Week
Happy Tuesday everyone! I am in recovery. I spent all of last week and yesterday high key stressing about a work event and my energy levels showed it.
