#runstreak Day 420: That Was the Week That Was
I’ve had to endure some tough weeks on the #runstreak. But they haven’t been much tougher than this one. Monday I faced snow, the traditional Northeast runners’ winter adversary. Sure, it was only four inches, and I was armed with … Continue reading
#runstreak recap: Boilermaker or Bust (Days 148-189)
