Sitting on the couch earlier this week, I looked to my wife and said, “you know what? I’m racing Boston in 6 days. Six more days and I’ll be running a marathon.” This week brought about a nice break and recovery for both mental and physical training. Spring break was a great time to ramp […]
It’s been a while since I sat down to post through the website but I thought this would be a good opportunity to dig in a little bit to the season and share some plans.
