Hi all, how's your Friday night going? We are just chilling at home and catching up on some TV. Not sure if you've noticed, but I haven't written much in terms of weekly recaps, but that's because I haven't really been working out that much.

Fitting Remarks: Marathon Training Workouts

Maybe some of it will be new to you, and hopefully helpful in some way! Common Continue Reading
