Hello beautiful humans. Last week I ran the Onward Shay Half Marathon for the second year in a row. Here's how it went.

Sunday Recap: Week 13

Oh boy, was this a busy week. And weekend. Here's what my training looked like: Monday: 4 easy miles in the morning. After that, I tried to study but couldn't and then headed to my Contracts exam, which started at 1:00. It was brutal. Tuesday: I didn't have an exam, so I slept in a …

Sunday Recap: Week 4

Monday: I decided to run on the Greenbelt since I only had 3 miles on schedule. (The Greenbelt is still mostly closed repairing the damage from the almost-flood of last spring.
