I’ve done the Princess races for the past 4 years, and it wasn’t until this year that I really had trouble with training during the holidays.  I’m extra impressed with myself for doing marathon training last December.  Good job me!  I think part of it is that I’ve never done a play before that had […]

This unfortunately ended up being a bit of a rough week for me.  I blew my run streak that I was going for (to run every day between Thanksgiving and New Year’s).  I was good until Thursday, when I did not run.  Thursday I woke up with a lot of pain in my left side […]
