Happy Sunday all! How was your fitness and fitness fashion this week? Let me know in the comments! After last week's 60 mile week, my coach had me do a bit of a cutback this week. There was still one intense workout, but overall, this was an easier week. Lower mileage, no doubles, more resting. Here's how it went down: Monday: Tempo workout! 2 miles to warm-up, 6 miles at a 7:35 pace, 2 Continue Reading

Weekly Recap: A Toe Prognosis and a Donut Run!
What a gorgeous week in the Twin Cities, wasn't it? If this weather could just stick around for a while longer, I would be very happy.

I had to get my run done before work so I could hand out candy to Trick or Continue Reading
