Last weekend was Tough Mudder (in case you missed it, lol), and I knew my marathon training would be altered because of it. I actually ended up doing Tough Mudder in place of my scheduled 13 mile run--and I think that worked out well. But this weekend was a rescheduled race from an icy day back in March. It was the inaugural race on the turf of my running group--The Selden Hills Warriors. [Tweet "Run for the Hill of It 10k Recap! #runchat … [Read more...]

Weekend Race Recap + Taking It One Hill at a Time
I seem to get sucked in to these races that I've been a part of for years even when I'm not supposed to be racing! This past weekend I was scheduled for 8 miles as part of my condensed marathon training plan, but ended up racing in Sayville Running Company's Race to Cure Cystic Fibrosis 4 miler on Saturday.
