Wow! I just came across an article about Matt Fitzgerald’s new book, Run, The Mind Body Method of Running by Feel. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book, due out on June 1st.

Weekly Wrap Up
Taper Week #3
Since I skipped my Weekly Wrap Up last week here is a quick summary of how things went in week 3 of my taper. I ran 22.86 miles during the week before the race.

Runs – 49 miles
Total Time Working Out:
6 hours 55 minutes Continue reading
