We are coming to the end of the month, so I thought I would give you an update of my month long experiment: The Great Walking Experiment! The walks have turned into errand runs 100% of the time. It is hard to find time to walk while I am also trying to train for my [...]

Sadly, I was unable to do my long run and second easy run last week. The reason? On my Speedwork day I pulled something behind my left knee. Walking more than a mile caused pain and irritation. Luckily, today it is feeling much better, so I am hoping to jump back into my routine. This [...]
