I hope, I hope, I hope!!
I ran 7.3 miles tonight! Leg had a little trouble, but it was the best it’s been (during AND after) since I started having trouble!!
I want to start somewhat of a “list” of things I did well and things I could improve upon for next cycle. I’ll add to this as I think through my upcoming goals/plans for next cycle. Again, this serves more of a purpose for me than for any type of blogger-reader pleasure, sorry! Things that…
