I wrote this last year when I was in the middle of my 5K a Day In May self imposed challenge. So, it’s very timely that the topic today for Tuesdays on The Run is time management and training. Needed to re-read this to remind myself! It’s gonna be tough again to fit it in […]

5 Ways That Finishing the School Year is Just Like Mile 20 of a Marathon
