Merry Christmas to all of you, I hope that your holidays have been joyful.
Read More...As I write this I have 6 days until the inaugural Exeter Marathon. After my fund raiser in January for Camp Sunshine, I had a fair load of miles under my belt but no speed. I ran a 50k on January 31st, and then 1 week later ran a 10 mile race in less than [...]
