Mom just called to let me know that my run yesterday in the Sunrun (results posted online tomorrow) was 68 minutes, with a placing of 18,495. Not quite as good as last year but none to shabby if I do say so myself, especially with no training and coming off a weeklong cold. Watching the […]

Ouch, went for a run this morning and it huuuuurt. I’m sure it’s a combination of me begin lazy ass and being sick for a week. The sunrun is coming up quickly (next Sunday) and I am a bit scared. Going to make an effort to work out or do cardio every day this week
