Not shabby for having run 15 times in the last 3 months! And won a Birkie entry — guess I’ll be skiing again this winter 🙂
Just under 4 miles last night at about 7:30 pace, and it felt great! I’m getting more efficient with my running (vs. a couple weeks ago where you feel awkward, your legs don’t really remember how to move right, etc) & getting stronger. I think the biking has really helped the lungs too — I…
