Week 18: Starting to show, paces are becoming slower, another solid week of training, and the TNC Training Camp Training: Another 45-50 mile week! Mon: 10 miles moderate (supposed to be 9, but went long). I forgot my HR monitor, so was running more blind than usual. As is typical, I gave myself the option…
