Falling and ripping holes in my new gloves the week of a race is never good. But I feel great, regardless. I have prepared well and feel great. Now if the sidewalk would stop tripping me up.

I am super excited that race day is approaching! I have trained more than I have ever before, […]

Falls and Races
