Rest Day
Next week is the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. Yesterday I did a nice training run with my friend George. We went from Iwo Jima, across the river and out to Haines Point.

I tried focusing on my breathe, think about my muscle that’s twitching, anything to clear my mind. Didn’t work. Result? A not very … Continue reading
