Fargo marathon is less than 10 weeks away. That’s a little scary. Especially since this week is supposed to be my first big week. And, of course, I’m coming down with a cold. Argh. I’m still healthy enough to do base mileage, but sick enough where I know I’d have to work pretty hard to…
I woke up the morning of the Birkie and my head didn’t work right. It’s not only because it’s 5:30, but also because I haven’t slept this week. Monday night I was on a plane, so got a total of 4.5 hours of sleep (1.5 on the plane, a 3 hour nap later). The rest…
