Another great race weekend in the books! Patrick and I headed out to Harrisonburg on Friday afternoon to gear up for Hone Quarry 40 Miler on Saturday. I did this race last year as a tune up for MMT, so I thought it would work perfectly for the same purpose as I enter my last… Continue reading

Hello, and happy Monday! I am so tired. I ran a 50k yesterday and then was up early today and daylight savings happened so it’s dark already and whine whine whine. I’m planning to go to the gym this evening to do an easy spin, but I truly think I could fall asleep on the… Continue reading
