. . . should you? It seems like multi event weekends are all the rage now. And Ragnar, of course, which is sort of a multi event weekend. I haven't done either.

Live to run another day: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about how sometimes skipping runs is absolutely, positively the right thing to do. My two little runs this week have gone well -- both negative splits.
