Dustin brought some clothes back that I had left in Minneapolis- including this "OPE Running" tank; it was a local Continue Reading

Here's how training (and life in London) went this past week: Monday: Fartlek workout, 7 miles total I tested out the Bandit Stamina top; it is very supportive and has multiple pockets (big enough to fit a phone!) 5 stars!

I was sidelined with a tendon injury that caused me to miss three important weeks of the training block. I was also "blessed" with a cold on race day, which didn't help. Excuses, excuses! I knew going into this race that my goal was to finish and I am proud of Continue Reading
