The lure of all distances
Some runners like the distance races. Other runners prefer the shorter races. Me? I enjoy the challenges of all the different distances I've tried.

Grinding Away: 2/28 – 3/6 WRD

Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022
I slowly and cautiously started to rebuild my mileage in February. Definitely nothing crazy; there's no rush. I think I'll be ending February with 10 or so more miles than January, which isn't horrible considering February is a short month. Yet there's always runfessions to be shared. I runfess . . .Not too long ago … Continue reading Enough with Savannah!: Runfessions February 2022
