The Tar Heel 10 Miler: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Hills
I’m sitting on the couch on Sunday morning, finishing up this post, as my hamstrings are on vacation for a few days. I don’t know how people do this type of distance running on a regular basis! Kudos to my marathon running readers. Saturday was the Tar Heel 10 Miler, the first race I’d ever [...]
