May 30, 2011

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend! We’re winding down a lovely weekend here at the beach. Sun, sand and lots of food. What else would you expect? I also did a bit of running this weekend–I ran the Masser 5 Miler, the kickoff race in the Seashore Striders Summer Championship [...]

This whole week I’ve been in a major funk. I started off the week with a major migraine/24 hour bug, and well, I’ll admit it, I’ve just been in a pretty bad mood ever since. Maybe it’s because I’m tapering for my half marathon on Sunday, and going from 25 miles last week to a [...]
