The Weekly Recap – October 27, 2024

Feeling really good as of late, so good that I did pull the trigger and booked my hotel for the race in South Carolina next month.  A month ago I wasn’t so sure that I’d be heading south. Other than that… still struggling a bit with doing the “other” workouts that I need to do,…

The Weekly Recap – September 15, 2024

Normally after a big event/race people take a few days off to rest. Toss in a “recovery run” and some stretching, but nothing too hard.  That being said, I suppose I did the same, but not sure why initially as the BRR wasn’t all that taxing to me.  Anyhoo.. looking at my calendar, I had…

The Weekly Recap – September 8, 2024

Well that was an odd week I will say!   Why odd?  Only 1 day running as it was BRR week. Mileage felt low as most of them came at the end of the week in a 24hr period during the Blue Ridge Relay.  I’ll share more on that in separate post this week. Strava…
