Preparation

Tomorrow is the longest run I have before the half marathon on May 20th. It’s a 13 mile dress rehearsal for the real thing, and the butterflies are stirring as we speak. I don’t know why I’m so nervous. I really need to take a photo of all the crap I have to lay out [...]

No sweets for you
