This week has just been crazy and I sincerely meant to write a post leading up to today's 5k but sometimes, even with the best of intentions, it is hard to sneak a blog post it. While I would have loved to share all of my pre-race thoughts, strategy, and jitters with you, I will be more … Continue reading Happy New 5k PR Day To Me!
