Race Recap: A Midsummer Night’s Run
This was the hardest race I have run to date. This one, that is. 2:34 hours of 30 KM of city streets and trails by the lake. I heard about it from a co-worker and decided to give it a go as a stepping stone before my 50 K. Probably wise, considering my longest race… Read More…
