My first full week back in the United States- woo-hoo! I had a great experience in India, but there's no place like home. And while I struggled to get the training in while I was overseas, it felt great to get back to it this week back in Minneapolis- where it's EASY to be a runner! I'm linking up as always with Jess from Jess Runs ATL, details below. Here's how last week's training for the Continue Reading
Weekly Recap: 10 Weeks Until the NYC Marathon
Hello from Minneapolis! I am back in the good ol' USA and so happy to be home. I still had one last week in India; here's my recap. Linking up as always with Jess Runs ATL. Join us!
