The Rest Day

If you’re a regular here then you’re used to seeing my weekly rundown posts on Mondays!  However, my NYC Half was yesterday so I’m taking an official REST DAY!

 

REST

 

I’ll be back with a full racing report on Wednesday!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    woot woot- I can’t feel my knees! 5 extra pounds and all concrete will do that to you! Can’t wait to hear your recap and so sorry it was a whirlwind of a trip and we didn’t meet up!

      I know!? What the hell was that all about? About a mile down the West Side Hwy I was like…we are running on concrete!!!! Not good.
      It was really too bad we didn’t meet up but it was so crazy!

      Thank you! Much needed rest for sure as I was walking around the city all day yesterday. It felt good though – kept that blood flowing 🙂

      I’m sorry to hear you’re not feeling well – that’s awful and this weather isn’t helping. Hopefully you’ll be feeling better by the end of the week when the sun comes out!
      I know you were there in spirit so thanks Britt 🙂
