So, if you live in Florida, you know how absolutely craptastic the weather has been this week! In the last 3 days, I have been forced to log 15 miles on the treadmill.

The Great Spring Clean of 2013
Hello again friends! This has been yet another hectic, crazy, but ever-productive week. Most notably, my time has been consumed by what I am now calling "The Great Spring Clean of 2013."

Race Preview & Week in Review
This week has been full of ups and downs but it wouldn't be training any other way, right? As I wrote about earlier this week, I dealt with the frustration of injury which also prevented me from sticking exactly to my plan (and forced my weekly mileage to come in low as well).
