30 days to NYC!
I’m really excited. Just 30 short days! That’s all 🙂
Today I had my last tempo run. 2 miles warm up, then 3x 1200 at tempo pace, 2 miles CD. And wow — I felt like I wasn’t running inside my own body. My head is mildly fuzzy, and my legs feel like they’ve run a 1/2 marathon. And my lungs are working hard! Not…
