Race Report: Run Into the New Year 5K (Or “It’s the End of the Year As We Know It”)
Unexpected, this, to place in my age group after a year of basically running longer-longer-longer and pretending that things like speedwork and track time didn’t exist. Of course, it helps when the race gives medals ten places deep in each … Continue reading
