Weekly Workout/Training in Review 3/14-3/20

This past week was spent recovering from my chest cold (the one that keeps you up all night). The plus side - I think I got some major ab work from the coughing (I kid I kid).  The negative side - zero running this week, I even got winded from walking! The highlight of the week was celebrating my birthday with my family and Cliff. Thank you for all your messages and texts :)  Thankfully I am feeling much better and will…

Gate River Run 15K Training Week 11 – 3/7-3/13
