I’m not someone who spins once a week or goes to yoga once a week or does something isn’t running once a week. I run and then I periodically do other stuff. Continue reading
In continuation of my recent post about my secret shame – how little I run for someone who really loves running – am I ready to run more? Short answer, yes, yes, I am. Long answer …
I often claim to be a low mileage runner. Running mates have often asked if this claim is true (and, half-jokingly, if I’m training in secret).
Secretly I
My Running Shorts, noun: brief stories about life on the run.
