The week before a race, we are feeling pretty good. We’re excited because we have more free time, our legs are feeling fantastic, we are energetic! Despite all of this happy attitude and feeling fantastic, do NOT train harder than our training […]

I had good intentions all week. Unfortunately, I’d get too bogged down in stuff, postpone walking and then just never do it. (Again, this is why it is usually recommended that we walk earlier in the day, right Cindi?) Again, good intentions […]
