Another week down and just 42 DAYS to go. Time is flying! My training is going well and I’m in a much more positive mindset than I was just a couple weeks ago. Positivity goes a long way in any […]
T-minus 7 weeks until race day! I can’t believe how slowly quickly this training cycle has passed. It seems like just yesterday I was kvetching about how burnt out I was feeling! And now here I am with just six […]
