This will be a recap of the last couple of weeks training for the Shamrock Marathon. I can’t believe it’s only 5 short weeks until race weekend! Wow! So let’s go back to two weeks ago: Monday, January 29: 5 miles Tuesday, January 30: 8 mile midweek long run Look at that beautiful blue sky! […]
I’m a couple of weeks behind on my blogging so I will “run” through my training since the First Light Half Marathon on January 13. We had another Snow Day in South Mississippi on Wednesday, January 17! Not only were the kids out for MLK the Monday before, but they only went to school half […]
