Shamrock 8k + Half Marathon Recap 2019

Gosh, it’s Monday already? Where’d the weekend go? Oh, it disappeared like it always does!! This weekend I skipped my Saturday long run in favor of resting my PF. I think one 7 mile run probably don’t derail my training if I skip it. Friday we just hung out at home in Continue Reading
