4 Mile Run

Who: Alone
What: 4 Mile Run
Where: Struble Trail

7 Mile Group Run

Who: Team Challenge Training Group
What: 7 Mile Group Run
Where: Kelly Drive

3 Mile Run

Who: Alone
What: 3 Mile Run
Where: Up Route 30 and Back

Tirrred. After racing yesterday, these two today were tiring. The run wasn’t so bad but during the weights I found myself wondering where my energy was. “Oh yeah. I [...]

5k: Race Report

Who: Free to Breathe People
What: 5k Race
Where: Kelly Drive, Philadelphia
This was my first. Ever. Event. Done as part of my half marathon training. Overall, it was both fun and a learning experience. And I think I did pretty well. Total time: 23:16 according to my [...]
