It’s not much and they’re somewhat ugly and very difficult, but it’s progress. In other news, I’ve run a handful of races over the past month or so. A pair of 5Ks and a pair of trail four milers. My times have been pretty bad (luckily, I’ve stayed under 20:00), but the weather has been […]
This will be the third time I give it a shot. I usually last a few days, cannot grasp the point, and go away for a few years. I’m making a conscious attempt to grow myself professionally this year, and it seems it is one of the best tools for seeing what folks in my […]
