The Day Before
Hello Friends! Well it’s been tapering week! (Which to be quite honest…wasn’t all too different from a lot of other weeks in my training for my first ever half marathon.) I only ran a short run once, instead of two short and one long run. I tried to mostly get some walking in. Sunday: Rest/Eat…
