I’m going to get back to my Evolution of a Training Plan series, but since I brought up the topic of my DNF, I felt like this was an important post to write. I wasn’t blogging yet in October 2009, so I haven’t really told this story before, except in bits and pieces. I found […]
OMG, speedwork!!
I just looked it up (reason number millionty-five that I love having a blog – I can check back on old workouts and paces), and the last time I did speedwork was December 23, 2010. Dude, seriously?
