Month: June 2020

After a gorgeous morning, I got to running a bit later than I wanted and guess what…by then the temps were creeping up a bit too quickly and while I got out the door before they hit 80*F, by the time I got done running it was definitely close to the mid ’80s. A little…

After a no track Tuesday today was definitely a recovery runday. While walking Bennie down-back the Town Crew were marking the road for some more fixing up (they have done a great job!) and as much as they have been down there and by the house lately we have been doing a little gabbing here…

What are you talking about – leg miles what is that and what does it have to do with running? I did some thinking, along with a little research last night and this morning after encountering a little niggle in my right foot that caused me to take the day off yesterday and decide to…
