I don't often surprise myself with my training or racing, but I can honestly say I didn't know I had this in me! I ran a 1:31:31 for the Get it Dunn 1/2 Marathon on 5/12/18, pushing a Chariot Cougar 2 (double stroller) with Greta and Anna. Nearly 8 minutes faster than last ...

A special kind of crazy?
